TA-DA!

This is a photocentric post. Beware.

It made sense that some commented in the prior post that it was difficult to judge the change without before photos. In the interest of full disclosure I have photos of the remaining mess. Along with age, it seems, comes a lack of shame. 

I do have a rest home for old Macs. 






Yesterday I finished with the remaining odds and ends. I decided to leave the relic of a treadmill open, hoping I will use it. I am supposed to do as much walking as possible and this does make walking easier. Gatto likes it as another choice of cat perch. Seeing the photo reminds me I need to put the smoke alarm back over the door.
 








This took me five or six days but I stuck with it and got it done. Mark called it clean and busy. I bristled. Busy? Well, maybe, but I've had a lifetime of horses and show rings and a collection of a kazillion photos and stuff. What's the point of keeping the things you like and not having them where you can see them? There is no point. I am not a minimalist, fair to say.

Yes, there's a lot of stuff. Your stuff, your choice. Go you!

Perhaps I should take some before pictures of our hell hole....in case I want to do the before and after! You did a great job!

I'm kinda afraid to take pictures of what I have now! I think you did a great job of organizing and paring down. I tell my kids (as they urge me to purge more) that this is my stuff and . . . I'm still here!

Nice! Yes I think you should keep the stuff that you enjoy looking at and those things that make you smile:)
