Challenges.....

When we sold our house nine years ago and put all of our earthly possessions (other than those that found homes in our RV) into a 5x5 storage space, I don't think that either of us thought that we would be paying on that same storage space for that long.  Willie regularly reminds me how much money we have "sunk" into monthly fees.  He's right, of course, but how do you put a price tag on things like my mom's silver or some of my dad's books from his ministry or on items that Willie's dad brought back from WWII?  Hmmmm....makes it a little harder, doesn't it? 

Well, we know that at some point in the not-too-distant future we are going to be looking for a "home" - or a stick house, as some of us full-timer's like to call it.  So.....we thought it was about time that we started going through some of that "stuff" we have stored.  Only problem is....over the last nine years, we have continued to add to the collection of  "stuff"...and now it looks like this!
Scary, huh?  Very, very scary!

Well, after three hours of sorting, reboxing, re-stacking and throwing away on Monday, it does look better.   But I'm not quite ready to show it to you yet...'cause, as our time started running out, we started just stuffing some things back in!  Will we ever learn?  I do promise you, tho', by the time we head out later this summer, that it will look considerably more organized and a lot less chaotic.  Til then....well, you'll just have to take my word for it!
