Friday Report

Nothing major done, but some projects continued.
We cleared out the back of our PT, where things we removed from the Aerostar before it was hauled away were put. I created a bag of my old union jacket, 2 big green rain ponchos, and a lap robe for use as needed; stashed on the floor in the back seat where we can get to them without leaving the car. Put the various tools in another bag to keep in the car, but at least gathered together.

About a dozen books went to Books to Prisoners from one of the two boxes in the garage. Also took a batch of smallish boxes to B2P for shipping. When these were pulled off the place they were kept another, bigger box was revealed. I thought it contained books, but no, there were knitting projects - hats, two small hooded sweaters, several scarfs and some unused yarn, plus 2 shirts, one of which I could wear, and a long jumper. All but the shirt I can wear are bagged to take to some place for clothing donations. I think the bags will go in the car, and sometime when we are near a depository out they will go.

Progress! I'm a little amused at the box of books that turned out to be other things, because this absolutely sounds like something I would do -- when we moved in to this house, I lost the box with the iron in, even though it was obvious on the shelf in the garage, because I kept working from each end when looking through boxes, and it turned out to be the one in the middle that never got opened.

Oh, yeah. Boxes in plain view but never looked into. I seem to have assumed it was a box of books because most boxes in my house are full of books. I had done to knotting to try to use up yarn, and planned them for donations when warm hats were wanted, but they went in the box and there they sat for possibly 4 years. Now I have a space where the box sat. This requires careful thought about what I should put there.
