Stuff

There are two items on our current to-do list that, on the surface, seem quite in conflict:

• Purge
• Shop

That's right, as we're buying lots of new stuff for the house on wheels right now, we're figuring out how to get rid of most of the stuff in our stick house one day. Sure, there are a few things that have migrated from the old house to the new. But, not much, really.

It's weird.

Case in point: Two vacuum cleaners. We have a big one that's perfectly good, fairly new and doesn't get used all that much. But, we do use it. And, more importantly, it's big and heavy. It's on the list of items to find a new home for before we leave this one. We just bought a brand new one that's small, light and perfect for our 300-square-foot house. (It's a Eureka Optima Lightweight and it cleans like a dream!)

And so it goes as we sort through our stuff.
