Hi again, Alberta and Miss Ivy, Well, I surely can identify with you; my mother-in-law was a real packrat; my sons are that way to a certain degree, but if there is no reason to keep, say parts to something, which may not ever be complete again, they will at least toss them. My father-in-law used to say the space was worth more than the stacked up way my mother-in-law used to do it. I would like to take time to toss unneeded stuff, but with helping mom now on a daily basis, I doubt I would not get a chance to do that, or at least, not for now. It's funny how we see something in the store and just have to have it, and later on, the stuff is cast aside like worthless shoes, coats, trash. I hate for stuff to go to waste, but all too often, it happens! wishing you and mike the very best and hugs and prayers to you and him on the topic of bereavement. I know once mom would no longer be able to keep house, we will be more than likely be barking up the same sized trees ----- Original Message ----- From: Alberta Hall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 7:25 AM Subject: [RecipesAndMore] not around much:
