The boxing up has officialy begun. And as I sort through 7 years of clutter from this house I have learned a few things.
1. 12 loaf pans is entirley two many for one family to own. Granted some are metal, some are glass and then their are size differences. But TWELVE, I think they may have multiplied in there.
2. This house must be a paper magnet. With all the paperwork that comes through here we could save a tree a month but stopping it all. I went to the recycle bin at the kids school and dropped all of it off.(Maybe we can call ourselves green after this)
3. For some unknown reason I have enough black pepper to last until the year 3000. I found four huge cans hidden in the spices. And the ironic part is we never pepper our food after cooking it.
An intresting tidbit I learned about spices is that McCormick quit making spices in metal cans 15 years ago.(except for pepper) I'm certain I'm the only one with a 16 year old can of Nutmeg in my pantry. (well, not any more I threw it out today)
The packing is going well and the house is finishing up with all the little things. David's office is nearing completion. It is now painted and the tile will be laid tomorrow. The dumpster is gone, and it is starting to look a lot more like a home than a construction site.
