Hello all!
Sorry I haven't visited but I have been so very busy with life. We have decided to downsize and move to a smaller place and want to do it before winter. Stairs are getting hard for me and would like to be on one level. Not much housing available around here and it is a lot harder to find a place than we expected.
I am going through stuff and have already filled one dumpster and am working on a second one. Most of the stuff I am throwing out is good, it should be donated, but the time it would take to box it up and take it to the thrift stores would make it an impossible task.I have not gotten to the books yet, but I have 8 full bookcases and 3 boxes of cookbooks. I have decided to only keep 2 bookcases and to give away all the rest of the books. It is breaking my heart to do it, but it must happen. I do have someone who will take the books. He will come pick them up as soon as I have them boxed.
The hardest is going to be my Christmas items. I have at least 10-12 bins full of vintage Christmas. I will keep a couple but must get rid of most of it. I had considered a storage unit, but if I am never going to use them, why pay to store them. Let someone else enjoy it.
Dianne, I read about your Cussler book. I wonder if it was the hardcover version of "Iceberg"? That is a very hard to get book and still sells for $200 on Ebay, A few years ago, it was going quite a bit higher. I think I sold one in just acceptable condition for $160.
