Stuff, Stuff, Stuff - How much did we really need after all?

Well, it has been some time now since I've blogged due to the fact that we have been in the midst of going through closets, drawers, cabinets, basement, attic, office, and garage. Our kids have been a major force in getting things moving and my parents came for a day and ended up staying for two. Thanks, too, for my brother and his family going to the trouble of taking things back to Alabama to keep for us.

It is amazing how much accumulates over 30 years of marriage and the decisions to "make a decision later on what to do with that". I have to admit though, it was really difficult at first to let the Lord change my heart to letting go of those "keepsakes". But once the process began, it became easier and easier. It hasn't been too hard for Don as he has always loved having more space than clutter and there are some things that he is absolutely happy to give up - like the snowblower ; ) Here are some pictures of things that we won't be needing or taking with us to Portugal. Oh, and we haven't even gotten everything out for the sale yet!
