Jerry, your office sounds like my living room - I know I have a carpet cos last week (or was it the week before?) I vacuumed. I don't have enough storage so stuff has to live in (neat) piles on the floor, but some stuff moves in mysterious fashions to new spots on the floor!

Library books are the main culprits - decades ago I tried to persuade colleague to return long-term loans to the library & drew little books with legs on the notice. Seems like those leggy books live here now.

It's been wonderful reading about your family. Thankyou for sharing your mother & memories.
