It is Friday and Fridays are for fun. The Labor day weekend marks the end of summer for some, but not for me. Summer isn’t technically over for three more weeks. Some of the best weather we get is in September.
My summer has been a bit unusual and productive. I spent Memorial day, July 4th and a few hours each week at home working and I plan to spend Labor day that way too.
I have spent a lot of time in the last several months tidying up our basement. I had gotten rid of a lot of excess stuff a few years ago but ended up with a bunch of my parents possessions when I moved them. Up until last weekend I even had some furniture in a rented locker. Now all I have is the lock that was on the locker. 🙂
It doesn’t sound like fun to most people to spend the summer holidays in the basement but I don’t mind and I feel good about what I have accomplished in one summer.
I still have several boxes of stuff that do not belong to me taking up space in the basement. I think sleepless nights and boxes of stuff are the price we pay for having children.
Here is one of the more interesting items that I found and gave away:
It was a gift and never used. Did you know that you can pop corn in a microwave by putting it (the popcorn not the microwave) in a brown paper bag?
In most cases the items that I have gotten rid of were given to charity, sold or recycled.
If we had moved more often we would probably have less stuff.
No matter how you choose to spend it have a wonderful Labor day weekend!
