Attic but no cash found!!!

Well, 5 cents is all so far!

I decided to make another foray into the attic

and find the courage to part with long held 'treasures.'

I found the kingfisher ceramic pot that my first

ever Head OT gave me in 1982 when I left my first job.

Can't part with it after all these years!!!

I found even more children's books ...keepers too.

Any grandchildren I have will be able to come

along to Oma's personal library and be read to!!

(No, Becci, not handing any more over to you)!

Between us we must have a huge collection as it was my 

favourite present choice when mine were small.

I would spend hours around Christmas in the various

bookshops, giggling at the funny ones, smiling at the

nice pictures and hugging the ones I wanted to take home.

I have found things I ought to have thrown out years ago

and things that I knew were up there somewhere

but not just quite sure in which box.

I will be going to the charity shop with some things

and the dump with others!

Once I have done the attic I have to start in the kitchen

and decide which things I could pass on to Tim when

he leaves home and which I still use and like. 

More and more I am sure that it will be a good thing for him

to move out and start the independent life that awaits him.

Time to grow up and find the things that matter 

out for himself.

21 next year . . . .would be a good time to aim for.
