Snowed Overnight. Plow Guy came by. Plowed. 26 degrees and no Sun. Haircut Cancelled.


 Remembering when I was folding Stars...this one, I used an old map.  I found the ones folded out of yellow paper but this old map one- was quite lost.  And is now found.

Daughter and I sorted out the paperwork boxes...taxes from the 1960's, all the European taxes, even my grades from college....as many A's as F's.  And not as many of those as I recalled.  I was either not as bad as I thought or the college just didn't give a damn.  There was an "A" next to Tennis... I never went after the first 2 weeks.  I think I should have taken Ballet.  Balance issues in college --I tripped and fell a lot. I still tend to do it if I bend at the waist too much. Bam, I hit the ground.

Daughter says the shredding pile has to sit....and then we will sort it out again...just so we don't shred something and then say- OMG what did I just do!!!!!!!  Been there and done that.

I have a huge basket of laundry to do...mostly Down Filled Pillows... husband's...possibly need to be washed twice.  He was always very "oily".

Daughter pried all the State Quarters out of the cardboard United States Coin Map that husband had...He enjoyed finding and filling the coin slots.  We also have a sheet of one dollar bills... cannot be hand cut. The edges have to be a certain way to go thru counting machines etc.  No idea what to do with them. Useless......in sheet form.  Found a signed baseball- will see if the Twins want it.

We did find quite a bit of crap....some was so worthless that even Goodwill would say no.  But my husband saved it all. We also found the paper etc that goes with all the major appliances and some appliances we no longer own.  We found menus from company events....lots of pens with company names.  

We also found old old family photographs that my children are not interested in... I might package them and send to my brother....he keeps stuff like that.  If reading this Bill or Sue- let me know if it's a yes or a no.  Time to reheat my cup of tea for the second time this morning.....oh, it's nearly afternoon.

I am interested, but not while sorting!!! Now that that sorting is done we can relax and go thru them and identify the peeps!
