It’s Spring Cleaning Time! Our current emphasis is on dejunking closets. We’re bent on getting rid of superfluous stuff. One thing we are discarding is the packaging for all our CD’s and DVD’s. We’re keeping the original discs although we’ve ripped the music and movies to our computer but the discs we are storing in paper sleeves in a couple of boxes designed for that purpose. The space savings is amazing. We’re also sorting through boxes and boxes of paper memorabilia and using Scan Genius on the iPhone to convert lots of stuff to scanned images then recycling the paper. We’ve gone through several cupboards and drawers and discarded useless stuff and donated good reusable stuff. And we’ve only begun.
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Don’t you feel a great sense of accomplishment?!
Oh! It’s so good to begin finding space in closets and drawers. We’ve lost count of the trips to Friends of the Library, Goodwill, and the dump but there have been many. And there’s still so much yet to sort through!
