Have you ever been given or bought something and then to display it, you need to move things to find a place for it? Imagine that times 10, 20, 30 or even 50!! For the past month, we've been bringing Mom's things home. Only a few boxes at a time but for every item, we have to clean a whole area of our house. I hate forced cleaning! Even boxing up things for Faith to move out with (some day), have to be stored. We still have boxes of stuff from her moving home from college. We will get Mom's queen bed and one long dresser.
