We are putting framed photos in a photo album. Love the idea of doing the same for plaques and awards.
After 9 trips to Salvation Army thrift store and a very successful yard sale yesterday, we are still downsizing! Our (soon to be) new home in TV has attic stairs already, but don't want to cram every nook and cranny with stuff we didn't get rid of in Montgomery. Our motto, "dejunk, dejunk, dejunk" and we aren't touching our "life memories". We are removing "we might need this one day" from our vocabulary!
When we come back to the closing on July 16th, I plan to walk DW through the house again and remind her of our motto! Wish me luck, as I do want to make it to our 43rd anniversary.
Our biggest challenge is we have separate computer rooms here, but must merge into an approx. 9X11 third bedroom in TV. I may have to set up a TV tray in my closet for a laptop!
