Ducks Lining Up
We're starting to get our ducks in a row. We emptied the cupboards today of...all together now...MORE GLASSWARE. The "company" coffee-cups. Apertif glasses (that we never used). Brandy snifters (that we never used). Lots of shot glasses (only one of which we ever used). I guess wedding gifts ran the gamut of Darrin's bar on Bewitched back then. Plus the remainder of the old set of dishes (the remainder of the newer set of dishes are upstairs). Pots and pans. Some cutlery. Serving spoons and forks that were given as favors at showers or weddings (I forget which); I swear there are a dozen. Got more of my stuff in boxes (like the MADs and comics, and the old trip souvenirs and brochures). There is surprisingly little considering (but enough as far as moving them goes).

The fiberglas insulation started making us very itchy, so we decamped and went for showers. Our first stop was Debbie and Richard's shop. Debbie's going to help us get the glasses, dishes, and other assorted stuff to Big Sisters on Friday. Then we had lunch at Harriett's (the lunch place with the terrible pain scheme and the wonderful food <g>).

Then we went by the post office, took the two bills and one sympathy card and trashed the "send funds to our charity" ones, then drove out to the Miller Box Company for packing boxes for dishes and some bubble wrap and more tape. We can do the china tomorrow morning. Next a stop at A.C. Moore for some more "surprise" fixings and finally...more Del's Lemonade!
