Fun in the Attic

As I write I can hear a lot of noise coming from the attic. We are having a small workday here. We've got Eric, Marita Salassa, Lolo, and Pat Lokatos going through stuff in the attic. I wasn't sure if we were going to have a work day today since Karen called in sick (she just got back from her trip and was sick on her vacation - boo!) and Kelly was running late...Pat Gamble came here to help this morning, but seems I sent her away prematurely since we have some worker bees here now!

Anyways, we've made such progress on the attic...you can actually walk around in there - gasp! We continue to discover more and more original artwork by Peggy. Today we found a great watercolor of "flying bananas with wings"! We've also found some old acrylics and etchings that she did way back in the late 80's. So exciting! We will be able to have a great art show of her never-before-seen artwork.

We are pretty sure we have found the space we are going to move into and it could happen as early as March. So February is going to be crunch time for us! We are hoping to avoid putting anything in storage which means we have to go through everything to decide what gets donated, what gets sold, what goes with us to the new space, and what (ugh) goes to our house. We are thinking that we may need to do one more big art and stuff sale here at the house sometime in February. This time we'll open it to the public and price stuff to move. I wish I could avoid it since sales like that are labor intensive, but we have valuable stuff that we can't take with us and the money could really help us with our remaining medical bills.

So that's it for now. Eric and I have been working a bit on our house as well...we have had a couple of big work days at our place...something we haven't really been able to do in years. It is nice to work on our personal space for a change.

Okay, back to sorting stuff...gotta get done so we can get home and get the kids down early since it is "Lost" night!!!
