Casey is a life saver

 Another afternoon with Casey, packing & purging.  I can't lie, she wears me out, but the progress is remarkable.  She has good legs, is tall, and a very hard worker.  

Today, we emptied the dining room cabinet, the closet with the Christmas village, and the wall of family photos.

I'm not sure if empty walls are good, probably does make the room look bigger.

The easiest thing to pack was the Christmas Village. Those blue moving bags were made for those boxes. That will be their off-season storage, for sure. 

Now, we are starting to have the problem of tubs & boxes sitting around. The boxes are all going to the thrift and I'll probably load up my car this weekend to get those out from underfoot.

I struggled with whether to take the bank of cabinets that came from my kitchen in Colorado. 

Dad made me an oak kitchen for my Colorado house, this section made the trip to Sconny. But, it is done now.  I've never really loved it here, so Glenn is coming on Tuesday to help me take it down.  I've made my peace with that.  I'm only taking things I love to the new place. 

The Gammeldanske bottle did not make the cut either.  We have had many laughs about this Danish 'treat'.

Also, not going along, a watch fob made of great grandmother's hair. This always kind of gave me the creeps. 

Plenty of other artifacts are going,  including Grandpa Ansgar's shovel, which is still hanging on the wall, in the top photo.

22 days to moving day.
