Moving Through The Process

The sorting continues on Mother's room . Things long lost have been found -to the joy and relief of all . Some of the furniture will go to my dearest friend , who loved her and was loved like a daughter( born from the heart ! ) . Some of the clothes will go to a local thrift shop , whose proceeds go to feed the hungry...something Mother loved to do in life...so fitting to continue now . As with all of us , the things not good enough to donate there will go to charities who sell less-than-pristine clothing to rag recyclers , so the PBA will benefit , too . She would have approved !
Her vintage items will find a place in a proposed internet store ,to share the joy .
The actual moving of the furniture poses somewhat of a problem . In years past , enlisting brawny males with a pickup would have been easy...every family had strong , young men who could be pressed into service...especially when home cooking was promised ! These days , the workforce is states away...the pickups traded for smaller SUV's and we are left with a dilema . At this point in my life , although the brain says "Swartzenager" , the body says , " Tinkerbell "...and the gap between is filled with Tylenol ! No furniture lifting for me ! Ah , well , this , too , will work out .
