we started to clear out mom's apt. today. took all her clothes and gave them to a friend of her's that mom had given things to before.
my mother was an avid reader. she ate books! so we took all the ones on her bookshelves and brought them downstairs to the community room library.

there is a little older man that lives on the same floor,he is very childlike and we gave him quite a few things that he needed and the guardian angel plaque from her door.

my niece is getting the daybed and i'm taking the couch to replace the one that layla destroyed. there are some odds and ends of furniture there that we promised out and some pots and silverware, lamps etc.

i'm glad everything will be going to good use.

i stopped at the store after we were done for the day and bought special thank you cards for a few friends.

tomorrow- we scrub!
