Not to mention going through houses. Such a hard emotional task. <br />Road building is good and bad. Nice road but too much noise. <br />I love that quilt you were working on. It does sound like a wonderful way to help your headache. I hope you feel lots better today.

I love the little patch of calico fabric in with the plaids. <br />I'm glad the road workers love their jobs. Is that why the drag the projects out so long???

But I know they will not want to part with much, and I don't want them to stress over getting rid of their things. I didn't know these things were to be so difficult. Hoping all calms for you...

I can understand the feeling of accomplishment with fixing it. <br /><br />My daughter is going through her in-law's old stuff. They are overwhelmed with boxes and boxes from the attic and from the house content. <br /><br />It's hard to part with some stuff but we can't take all.<br /><br />Nice to have a new paved road in your area. I hope that your headaches are all gone.

My mil lived in the same house for 50 years and while she bought very little, she threw nothing away. After her death we moved to a different state and tried to be very careful about what we kept..but there are some things that it just didn't seem right to give away. And now every time I open her buffet she is here in TN with us. Hope you enjoy your keepsakes.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502301562627855850noreply@blogger.com
