The Big Garage Purge

Nothing can give you a sense of accomplishment like cleaning out the garage. Ours had gotten out of control, down to just one little path from the big door to the door into the house. But that changed on Sunday. We hauled all the clutter out into the driveway and started sorting and putting things in their place. It was gratifying to see the "Give Away" pile grow. To give you an idea just how much stuff we had piled up, while I was inside making lunch or something, a woman walking by came up and started going through our stuff. When T. asked her if he could help her, she said, "Oh... this isn't a yard sale?" We did have our cars parked in the driveway, so it wasn't like we were set up in yard sale style. By the afternoon, we had a car load--everything from baby toys and souvenir coffee mugs to the slip from my wedding dress-- to take to Goodwill. It felt really good to unload it and drive home to a clean, somewhat better organized garage. Now if only I can get at least one of the two non-running motorcycles out of there!
