Just went hunting for the hot chocolate mix (which I couldn't find this morning) in the difficult to access cupboard behind and above the dishwasher. Not only found it (!) but decided to clean out the top two shelves which are almost impossible to get at. Dragged the step stool over and proceeded to clean it out.
Yikes! Stuff that hasn't been touched in YEARS! Threw a lot of it out. One container will be cleaned and Goodwilled (unless I decide to keep the beach glass in there instead of the container it's in now). The ashtrays go, too, except for the cool one with Queen Victoria on it -- a new place on his nightstand for Tom to toss pocket stuff. Haven't needed (thank goodness!) ashtrays since I've not allowed smoking in the house for years. (And now Tom's quit for good, too.)
After I scrub those shelves again, I've got a place to store other items not often used (but can't bear to part with yet) and thus have some more room in the lower shelves of the hutch. Got some rearranging to do -- and prolly more decluttering.
