Using the good stuff
Was thinking of the barns behind Wilma Stroup's house.
The long narrow barn that is stacked full of lumber and the large Red Metal Barn.
Makes me think of the things we want to do but don't; and hold on to them for some day in the future. That someday may never come.
Should we continue to store these things? Should we let them go and say that day is not going to come?
Or if they are important enough to hang on to, why are we waiting to use them - un pack the stuff, get it out, use the good china as they say.
If you knew your time was close, what would you do?
What would be your priority?
What good is all the stuff you stored away for someday if that someday never comes.
If it is good enough or important enough to you, find a way to incorporate it into your life!
Get it out of storage and put it on display.
If that can't be done then is the stuff really that important?

Charlotte's 7th
Sunday 10/25/20 went to Chad & Christy's for Charlotte's 7th birthday party.
Probably the last time this year we will see them unless we come home for Christmas. Of course with the virus situation I am not sure how much you can count on traveling until next spring. We gave Charlotte a fairy light kit for her to put together. Hopefully she enjoys it.
Driving down there, and while there, I kept thinking of birthdays and holidays that Mom & Dad were there with us. The kids would be sitting in the chair with Dad or running around playing. Chase would always have an electroni tow sitting on granpa's lap. Mom would of brought a ton of food and a stack of gifts for the kids. Family get togethers still remind me so much of Mom & Dad.

Boxes in Storage
Went to Rhonda & Keith's today to look through the remainign boxes we have in storage there - both our boxes and the last few boxes of mom & dad's.
Brought all of our Smokey Mountain paintings home so that we can take them to Floriday. Hopefully we can decorate the shed with them. That leaves a tub of year books and 2 tubs of photographs and albums. We should be able to get those next time and do something with them.
As far as mom & dad's stuff, it is mostly pictures, probably 9-10 boxes of pictures. A lot of memories. Also have the flag and medal display box, fire deptartment axe. I think all of this together will be too much for the shed.
Had lunch and spent the afternoon with them.
