    Been home from vacation for a week and have 2 bags to donate. We were in many people’s homes during our trip and most had way more stuff than we do so that felt good.

    TT: That reminds me of when I help my mom declutter, and then come home all motivated to do the same in my own house!
    Three more books in the donation box - I am on a roll! As fascinating as he was, will I really ever want to re-read Ed Gein's biography?

    I never read a book again so out they go when I am done. I started decluttering 15 years ago. I got super serious 6 years ago when I retired. Sold half our furniture when we moved. I never used to notice how much stuff is in other people’s homes but do now which I find weird.

    I almost never re-read books anymore either. I've always enjoyed being able to lend books, but hell, that's why we have libraries.

    I'm still awed by being able to keep hundreds of books in my pocket via Kindle. Heaven.
    I only keep richly-illustrated books and some cookbooks (that I never use) for the most part.

    2 more bras out! And a loaf pan that always makes a too-dry bread. I'm going to buy a glass pyrex for the cabin. I'm done with that no-stick thing. I was going to toss a warped nonstick cookie sheet too but it's coming in handy for containing quilt piece cutting so for now, it's a keeper.

    Hahaha! I should hope not.
    But I'm still hanging on to The Phantom Prince, by Ted Bundy's former squeeze.
