Stuff, Stuff, Stuff, Stuff, Stuff!

The truck arrived today, and with it a kind of strange nostalgia, worry, claustrophobia, and for sure overwhelmedness.

Beth and Destinee showed up too, and they worked their heads off! By the time we were out of there, they had organized all the boxes in the basement, moved tons of stuff everywhere, and helped unpack, sort, decide and stow a ton of stuff.
The china hutch holds ALL the Polish Pottery, Good China, Wedding China, those little party plate things and still has a little room left over!

Beloved Strawberry things, not seen for these many years, have taken their rightful place. During the day, so many wonderful photos of all the kids as newborns, babies, toddlers, and kids came out of their boxes and back into the light. A certain completeness was definitely in the air.

Sure, she was overwhelmed, and I must say IT'S A LOT OF STUFF!, but its yours and all of your history.

Toss what you can, keep what you like, and don't sweat it. You are finally HOME again.

:) Love Love!
