Some friends of Denis came over yesterday evening to look at what is left in the house to see if they could use anything. Besides a couple of pieces of furniture that are going to Nebraska, all the rest of the stuff in the house has to either be given away, or thrown away. It’s pretty daunting.
I was so glad that they took a bunch of stuff. I wonder if I could get other people to take stuff as well. Maybe I could advertise a yard sale where everything is free. I wouldn’t have to lug it to Goodwill or the dump – I’d just take it to the yard and people could take whatever they wanted. Hmmm…
Anyway, it was getting late and everyone was still enjoying each other’s company, so we ordered pizza and ate it out on the porch. Cool breeze… good friends… it was wonderful.
I have gotten to hang out with Denis’ friends a lot during my time in Baltimore. I will miss them.
I love having kids around.
That reminds me of an article I read/skimmed a while ago that talked about how ‘your grandchildren don’t want your stuff’. I think giving it away for free sounds great. Would your neighbors want to come over and take anything? Maybe the bank could give away your things when people open an account. 😉
Anything in the house worth giving to new teachers at BLS?
…or the Compassion Center at Immanuel? …or have you heard of Craigslist? 😉 (I know: not enough time anymore…)
