Big excitement!

First of all I have to show you the latest addition to our
family...


Evan Richardson
born January 20, 2020

We're in love!

Here's more of the decluttering efforts..

two small jewelry boxes; assorted earrings & pins; a horrible metal nail file that shreds your nails to bits (THAT went in the garbage!)

two towels; and a box of books (actually there were two boxes but I overlooked a picture
of the second one)

two banks, 4 balls of yarn; a Christmas bracelet & a blob of white stuff that for the life
of me I can't remember 

dishes, candlesticks and a glass hanging plant holder

bowls - I have at least as many more still in the cupboard

Halloween decorations, more dishes, and a glass tube that holds flowers
(the brown 'blob' is a paper-covered plastic pumpkin)


Today's quote:  "In life, it's important to know when to stop arguing with people and simply let them be wrong"

    1. He is indeed adorable! Hmmm - don't know about helping others declutter - it's a full time job keeping THIS household under control.

    1. Yes, his birth date will be hard to forget! Thank you. And, as far as I'm concerned, the only cute rate is a crocheted one.

  12. Congratulations!! What a cutie. Great decluttering you are doing. I'm a step closer to getting serious about mine. The owner accepted the offer on the land and possibly deposit money will be exchanged Saturday. Not doing anything to jinx that!

    1. It IS exciting isn't it. Every time the phone rang we jumped wondering if he had arrived. I'm sure you're doing the same.
