Been a busy few days. Lita took off a couple days from work and came to town Wed. evening. We had dinner with Bill on Wed., then took him a pulled pork B-B-Q from Subway on Friday. She went over to watch a movie with him tonight, so I'm catching up a little.

We cleaned out 7 1/2 shelves of kithen cupboards. Got some more stuff set aside for the next garage sale. Even threw away a few things--like spices that Bill and I had before we were married nearly 44 years ago. :-)

Sorted several bags of books and have nearly two paper grocery bags ready to take to a friend whose church is having a book sale in August. Have several more boxes I'm going to go through and see if I can part with some more.

Got all of the West Bend Penquins out of the closet where they were stored. Going to parcel them out to some of the family members who don't have one. Lita found an article on them which says they are now selling for $40 - $80 apiece in antique stores. Sure glad we started buying them when they were $5 - $10, although I think the last one we bought was around $20. Right now they are sitting all around my living room. Kind of pretty, but hard to walk around. :-)

She also took (will take) a couple boxes of my Sharing God with Young Children books back to Grand Rapids. She knows a lady who is passing them out to Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS). That cleared out quite a spot in the corner of her former bedroom. Going to meet her at Bill's around 10:30 tomorrow morning. She's going to take off for Grand Rapids when his lunch comes--I'm going to skip church and have lunch with him.

That's about it for now. Maybe I'll go sort some books before bed.
