A day of clearing

Today (Saturday) was my first day officially off work. I spent it clearing things out of the house and making big donations to a local charity's thrift store, the Snowline Hospice Thrift Store. My first trip was with my little Kia simply packed to bursting point - at least 25 boxes of things in there. Then our friends came over with their large truck, and we moved furniture, old TVs, and even more boxes! We also gave some pieces to them and a mattress and box springs to another friend.

In addition, Gordon and our neighbor Max are building a fence, so that our neighbors and our renters can have some privacy. All the materials were delivered today, and Gordon, Max and our friend Kurt got about 40% of the posts and framing done, which is awesome.

So we've still got a long way to go, but we're getting there.
