Ya know how things, if they sit in one place long enough, become invisible?

Somehow, though, the other day I actually SAW the books on the side of the built in hutch...and wondered, what the heck have they been doing here for the past, oh, fifteen, twenty years?!!

They were sort of food additive, vitamin, ginseng-ish mostly paperbacks -- some VERY outdated and the others (after I ascertain which are keepers) should go with the health, vitamin, herb, gardening books in the bookcase in the upstairs hall.

Okay, that's one small batch dealt with. The next library sale is in May, but I intend to have more for them then the two boxes I had a month ago.

While I'm at it, I really should pull more stuff out of the hutch and rearrange things. Probably Freecycle the covered cake stand...and the covered cheese dish. Good ideas at the time, but I have never even once used either one. I should cull trays, too. I can't seem to pass them up at yardsales but have way more than I need even if I spend the rest of my life entertaining.

But in the immediate future, I think I'll leave stuff in the hutch til after the holidays. I really need to move the boxes of stuff to be de-accessioned off the couch and out of the living room so we'll have a place to put a TREE!

One step forward, two steps back... (but the books got moved)
