And then there were none

Matthew left for the Cotton Bowl yesterday with friends, and we dropped Katie off at the airport today. So quiet has again arrived at our dear home. However it's New Years Day and the TV is going constantly as Kathy, my dear football addict, is getting her due fill. I'm still doing some minor shredding and sorting upstairs. Now I'm about ready to sort through all the books and see which ones should be tossed or sold back to our local unsed bookstore. This single room is slowly getting there, however, it's amazing how much stuff I had squirreled away in a 12x15 foot space. Now considering the rest of the house, we've got our work cut out for ourselves. Yesterday Kathy sorted through one cupboard with our guarentees in it. No need for guarentees or instruction manuals for things we no longer own. This whole cleaning-up business is definitely time consuming and a bigger job than I anticipated.
