Moving

We’re lightening load. Given away books, furniture, cooking equipment, framed prints, excess staples (legumes, grains, pasta, flour). Recycled electronics, shredded papers, had College Hunks Hauling Junk carry away three large loads. Took household toxics to the recycling center. Dumped the Britannica.

And yet: Here we are today, going to antique stores to replace a chandelier and a blanket chest that we’re not taking with us.

Go figure.
