House

We got furniture moved to Matt’s and Puff moved to Becky’s. As you know, Puff (the magic dragon, the red nosed dragon, St Puff, Puff in bunny ears for Easter) is a six hundred pound sea monster. After all those years in the yard, there was an escape attempt three days ago. The two hundred pound head section made it over the chain link fence to the driveway, but no further. We're guessing he had an accomplice. We're also guessing somewhere in the neighborhood, there is a high school kid with a hernia. All of Puff's parts have been reunited to roam the back yard of Becky's house.

When we started packing up the house, we were faced with four choices for every item. Sell, store, give away, throw away. It didn’t take us long to eliminate one of the options. We decided not to sell anything, just give away or throw away anything we don’t need to keep. It doesn’t seem like we’re going to need to keep very much.

Simpler is better.
