Furniture of the Disappeared...
Here's a bed=frame & a double bureau
and a cedar hope=chest, a blond bar &
book=case---moving as they did from
2035 and 229 to their honoured Places in
the Hovel which Hane & Mack left behind
for me to resolve and dissolve. The good
people of Good Shepherd gathered up
Them^ to their next Adventures in Thrift
Shop land...i pray their perfect service to
persons i have not met but who are probly
very much like me---scraping together a
Fair life in a harsh werld as Events un=fold.
BLESSINGS on mere objex which console
by having only Drawers & Shelves & hidden
memories! They also live by travelling well
from haus to haus with Usefulness. Truly.
As for the Books which have a had a much
longer life of Adventure, passing from old
hands to young hands, from boxes made of
wood to boxes made of card=board...My
antiquarian told me i could continue carting
them to the 'lending library' undre the bridge
OR let the Auctionists offer them for Pennies
on the Pound. {Amembre this when you are
your=self confronted with this Effort: FIND
and GATHER all the cruddy tomes together so
the book=man can see them all=ta=once!}
Early on, he made the prescient & precious
statement: "The books are Usually the Last
to go." mirabile dictu per diem! Twas ever
Thus. The mattresses go first. ~slac~

What a process....I've done it in my grandmother's homes and my mother's is waiting to be done someday. She lives in the house her grandparents built in 1901 and it has never been emptied. I will remember your good advice about the book man. Heck, I'm such a darned packrat these days....it will probably all come here. (Over Aaron's dead body!)
Love and hugs!
Agreement 4 sure Flowre=Sun> Such distillations of Effort
ought happen while WE are walking & talking 6 feet abof the
Good Earth, instead of Laterly & Lingerly...But, hey, we all get
There 4 the good of much. Happy coming=up MomDay &
