Have you been paying attention? I mentioned previously that I’ve been reading a book on organizing and decluttering. I also mentioned that we had reserved a table at an indoor garage sale next weekend. The book says to get rid of anything that doesn’t give you joy, and I didn’t think I’d have any trouble filling a table.

As it turns out I have a lot of joy in my life. And what I don’t find joyful, apparently Pat does. As I wander from room to room I pick out things I think could go, but I long ago picked out the obvious stuff. There are still lots of books to go through so that may be where we can reduce the most.

We’re off to a pot luck tonight. No need to wonder about what to bring; the host asked us for the “World’s Best Chili”. We served it at a dinner for friends after a Library fundraiser and before a House Concert, and Phil has raved about it ever since. It is from a family recipe book we put together many, many years ago when the kids were still all at home.
