I found a bag of kids clothes in the garage bagged and labeled "keep" and have to look through them soon. I have a box of telephones, but I don't think I'll give them away. Who knows, maybe in a couple of years I'll go back to a wired phone. So not everything is headed out of the house.
I was busy this afternoon. There are about 2 1/2 gallons of tomato juice out of the two full batches of steamed fruit (had been in the freezer). And there will probably be about 3 quarts of sauce. The water bath is heating right now. I'm going to freeze the juice in quart jars (I ran to the store to get another case since I ran out) and the sauce in 1/2 pints. Plenty of those around here. I'll be set with sauce for some time to come (I'm working on finishing last year's sauce and juice now).
I need to finish my holiday letter this weekend and be ready to mail it on Monday. There are people who haven't heard from me in quite a while. I'd like to surprise them with a card before christmas.
