Stilly and all: We have a nursery stocked with the basics and many special books, clothes, handmade toys, linens, etc. selected for newborns through age ten or so. For private and painful reasons it must now be emptied and turned into a guest room/work room. Everything in there was carefully chosen over a period of twenty years and more.

A few special things can be kept; most must go. I can hardly make myself go in never mind handle everything and decide about it. That is the battle of which Susan speaks. I hoped that my naming the task here I could better carry it out. This should be the last public mention of it. Thanks ;)
