93 . . .

happiness is paring down.  today i went through the breakfront and 86'd anything that wasn't either truly antique or a set.  out with old candles, table pads, trivets, candle holders and fragrances.  the dining room table is getting piled high.

then i moved into the kitchen cabinets and sacked old floral arrangement vases, odd salt and pepper shakers, mismatched bowls and tins.  who keeps this stuff.

more cabinets . . . the table is getting higher.  jackpot, an old christmas card with a fifty dollar bill in it.  more odd mugs, dead halloween goodies, old dish chargers, plastic drinking bottles out the wazoo.  cheese graters, wooden bowls.

into the hall closet and more for the table.  this is feeling really good.

now we have a little wiggle room.  happy.  happy.
