Another day, another 20 pounds of paper and folders purged. Boxes mounting up in the hall, closet almost cleared out.

So many picture frames and shadowboxes never used, and a few paintings and tired old framed prints etc no longer on their walls.   Things you never meant to collect, but quite a collection at this point.   

I put a few small ones up on nails in the now starkly empty bedroom, nice to have them in focus if only for a little while. Mom's plaque, a little award, St. Francis' prayer.   

I guess we are all museum curators, it helps to rotate the collection to get any enjoyment out of it.
