Cleaning house

Andy and I have been working to organize some of our things in preparation for this June when we are going to turn over the parsonage to the Thorsens for two months. Our basement is absolutely a catastrophe right now. It's unlivable down there right now, so the past days since I've been up from bedrest, we've spent a lot of time down there going through boxes and throwing away stuff. I took some pictures of things I found that I thought some of you would get a kick out of seeing these items again.


My first and only Cabbage Patch doll from Jerry and Barb Gazaway. I named her "Bottom" because I like to lay my head on her soft bottom as a pillow!

A pair of my favorite pajamas. I got these for my birthday one year!

My "Girls Rule" shirt that Mom gave to each of us girls. I remember that we each wore ours quite often, so Greg said that every time he came to our house, someone was wearing that shirt!

My 'Amanda the Panda' shirt from the camp we went to as siblings after Dad passed away.

One of my favorite books! Somehow I would always find it in Paige's room though, I guess she liked it too!

A favorite nightgown of mine growing up.

My favorite summer outfit that I wanted to wear every day of the summer!


And lastly, my favorite find of the day, my blanket! Doesn't it look ratty? It was well used! I couldn't believe what condition it was in, but I still love it!
