Sharing Space

How do we collect so many odd and assorted items? Yes, there are those disciplined souls who refuse to keep the campaign button for the local selectman, handwritten letters, scanned hard copy of articles, and it goes on and on.

Bravo for those souls. They will not be confronted with endless boxes of odd neighbors bearing no resemblance to one another.

My Purell advanced hand lotion shares a plastic container with  Duracell batteries, a scrubber, a plastic duck won at the Easter Bunny Golf Tournament for being the first person to land in the water, two ball point pens, and an old address book. Each item important.

All importance pales when moving and you pine for simplicity.
