Ah, that makes sense, Susan.

I may have to rethink this decluttering. Morgan was looking around the living room, where the tall bookshelves are loaded with books, a flute, various knick-knacks, stones, photos etc. and said, "I wish I had this house!" As we discussed it, he meant he liked it better than his house because of all my *things*, esp. the clock on the wall which tick-tocks and has to be hand-wound. I told him that was interesting because I'd been thinking I ought to get rid of a lot of it because it's so cluttery and dusty. At that he offered to help me dust! His mom says he does a good job with a feather duster so we have a date to dust!:-) (She doesn't decorate. She told her husband to have at it; it's something he does in his own space.:-)

Of course, Morgan has no idea of what all is in the storage shed, the storage travel trailer and the storage old panel van!
