Our top priority for today was sorting some of the last stuff that was brought up here as the house was being cleared out. Our focus was on two containers that held information from many of our travels. Among it was pictures, brochures, maps, etc. of our 1993 trip to the Czech Republic and Hungary with Souceks and Don and Gladys. It was a great adventure and much of it was kept. However, there was a lot of Newspaper material and clippings that were tossed. We even came across a clipping of the proposed Seward Civic Center in 1953 with Ralph Yerk listed as Architect. We gave that to Kay, his daughter, at supper this evening. We had put-off doing some of this sorting by having given priority to end-of-year "Pictures and Activities", etc..
We have reached a "maturity" level that enables us to dispose of things today that we would not have done earlier. The amount of storage at our disposal at the house was really a contributor to our keeping some things just because we had room for them. Part of my rational for keeping them too, was the "Pipe Dream" that someday, I may write a book about our travels. I believe we now can get as much satisfaction of seeing the empty containers as we once did just knowing we had the stuff. Elaine looked pretty happy heading for the garbage container.
