As I posted a day or so ago, I am on "vacation" to deal with my late former husband's belongings. I am pleased to report that we were able to clean out the storage unit and almost everything went to a thrift store that will sell it and donate the money to charity. We didn't have to pay to have it taken away, it has a fighting chance of finding homes that will appreciate it, and the proceeds will go to a good cause. I swear, it feels like a miracle.

My daughter, her aunt, and I went to dinner tonight to celebrate and I wore my old pleather pants, black mock turtle sweater, and my new sweater jacket. It was quite cool so you can't see the fleece-lined tights underneath, but they came in handy!

Thanks for looking! And my tip for estate stuff: Proceed as though you were being held at gunpoint -- under no circumstances should you EVER go to the second location because nothing good can ever come of it! (We should have had an estate sale when he moved out of his house!)
