Big activity this weekend: setting up a second industrial shelf in the garage and doing a Big Reorganize. It came on the heels of some spring cleaning and eBay sales this week, both overdue. We spent three hours on the project this afternoon and got the job done; most satisfying. There is very little storage space in this house (or any on this street); odd since the house itself is ample in size. We pared down where we could, went through several boxes that had remained untouched since the move, and loaded everything up on the new shelves. We've been begun buying food in bulk for a) earthquake readiness and b) frugality... and the shelving helps greatly in organizing this. The kids enjoyed riding bikes with our neighbors during the organizing and "helping" us intermittently. Final product is well worth the effort.
There are three huge thrift stores downtown that our Yankee brood most enjoys; we often hit them on Saturdays after buying produce at the local farmer's market. At this morning's thrift store outing, we found this kids' globe- on my list for a while - a big hit already with Monkey and Roo. After our garage cleanse/reorganize, we loaded up the van and I zipped back down to the thrift strip to unload the items we cleared out of our garage. Two for two today.
