Just a Ramble

Papers cleaned out and shredded a few days ago, the last "fizzled out" poinsettia was disposed of, 2 different kinds of leftover candy combined in one bowl. Christmas cards put with those from last several years, nut tree on dining table replaced with bowl of faux cherries, nut tree put on steps to put in storage later, etc., etc. In other words - doing a lot of "piddling things" - avoiding taking on one of the "bigger projects". Guess I could have taken a picture of the table with the bowl of cherries and called it decorating, but the rest of the table is cluttered with papers, a necklace in progress, a lot of dust, etc. Believe me - not a very impressive sight.
Which reminds me - How long do you keep Christmas cards you received? I asked someone that a couple of years ago when I was on one of my "clean out binges", and she said she never gets rid of them. Sorta made me feel bad about wanting get rid of several years of accumulation, so they never got purged. Should not have asked her - She is a big "sentimentalist", and there is no telling what all she has kept over the years. :-D

When my children were growing up I kept a lot of their special toys, blankets, etc., and when they ventured out into the world and got their own homes established, I gave all their things to them and told them it was their decision to keep or discard - so far they have kept. Only a couple of things survived my childhood and when I went to retrieve them, I found they had been claimed by someone else.
That was the main reason I wanted to make sure my children had what had belong to them and was special to them as a child.

Talk about a Dab of This and That ramble!
