Sorting for Peggy

Well, we know Peggy is smiling down on us because we're finally doing all her sorting projects! Yesterday Kelly and I sorted through over 4 of her famous "To Sort" plastic bins. Though it is time consuming, it is actually kind of fun and entertaining to go through all of her paperwork - and we do have to go through it all because there are so many treasures...buried in a lot of crap.

That's sort of the theme of all this - treasures buried in crap. For instance, in one bin we might find a combination of old family photos, special fan letters from children, unopened mail, Jehovah's Witness pamphlets, Valentine's Day cards from Elroy, old unopened business mail (we found a $90 check for prints sold from a company that went out of business last year), business cards, old magazines and newspaper cuttings, and silverfish. So it takes time to go through each piece of paper, but it is very satisfying to see those empty bins when we are done. We did manage to fill our whole trash bin yesterday, so we are making progress - slowly but surely.

We are planning a big workday tomorrow. Marita is bringing some food and her boundless energy. She leaves next week, so Wed will be her last workday with us and she is ready to make some progress! Eric will here to make executive decisions and move heavy stuff! We are ready for help this time and will have projects set up for our helpers - we plan to do more bin sorting, so we have set up some sorting stations in Peggy's room. We'll start around 10:30 and go until 3:30 or 4...Hope you can join us - it will be fun! See you tomorrow!
