Packing begins

I've started clearing out cabinets and packing up the 'deep storage' stuff. Things that we either never use, seldom use, or really don't need to use. For example - coffee cups/mugs collected over the years. They were stashed in the back of the corner cabinet - a space reachable only by standing on a ladder. Wondering about their fate when the new corner cabinet is installed - one that offers easy access to all the space.

Bread & Butter plates - yes, nice to use, but for the duration, I think we can use a paper towel.

Drinking glasses - since we'll be washing dishes by hand, in the basement, do we really need a clean glass every time we get a glass of ice water? All the glasses, except for a paltry 4 were packed.

I think you get the picture. It is slow going because I pack a box, rest, pack a box, rest, etc. It's not the packing that tires me out - it is the hauling stuff out of the cabinets. Packing will continue today as soon as Bob gets the spare boxes out of the garage attic, where we've been stashing them for awhile. I expect to make good progress today because Bob is home to help gather stuff out of the cabinets.

We know we have to buy some boxes because so far, no plates have fit into the boxes we have. And, we have a LOT of wine glasses that need to be packed into special boxes to prevent breakage. Perhaps today a trip to U-Haul...
