So Close...Yet So Far

One of the things I always said I was going to do on summer "vacation" was clean out the garage. Whenever I mentioned it, one of my radio friends would say, "Peggy, how long have I known you? You are ALWAYS saying you will clean out the garage!" He was right, of course. Cleaning the garage to make it into a garage rather than a junk storage area was almost unreachable! Then my daughter and grandchildren moved in, and we remodeled the garage into a bedroom/radio shack for me, and re-did the other bedrooms so Megan and the children could each have a room of their own. Everything that was in the garage back then got dumped on my covered patio. Now--how many years later?--I am still trying to find places for all the "treasures" that were plunked there. Now, my friend could say, "How long have I known you? You are always saying that you will clean up the patio!"

Truth be known, I am probably within two hours of having the patio cleaned and usable again. Two hours! What is holding me back???? I wish I knew! I just need to find places to put things. I'm so upset that there are things that people might want, but I have no way to know that. In time, I will probably just pitch what is without a place to be, but I'm not happy about that. Oh well!

My grandchildren and their custodial parents will be here over Memorial Day weekend. Guess I need to clean the house, eh?
