haven't figured out how to post a comment

it worked when cory was here and gave me the new "set up" but not since.

jessica the transformation was amazing!!!! i can organized anything, clean anything-----except paper. one thing that has helped is my filing cabinet. i grab a folder, label it and file it.  if by chance the thing ever fills up i will buy a new one or maybe i will go thru my files and get rid of something.

the other suggestion is one that andrew, one of adam's friends gave me. he said he had all his stuff in boxes. when there got to be too many boxes he would pick one up unopened, kind of shake it, think about it for a minute or 2 and if he could not remember what was in the box he figured it wasn't worth keeping and he would throw it away. i liked the idea, but i am afraid i would miss a real "treasure."

as far as clothes and things like that i have meagan or ellynn go thru my closet with me and tell me "i can't believe you are keeping this!" why doesn't brooke help with this process? because she is worse than i am and i do it to her.

bob and katie beecher came up to seatle yesterday. i drove up to meet them and ellery.  we had so much fun. they were coming from the tri-cities and so we met at bohems chocolates, went to gillman village for lunch at the boarding house. they have awesome homemade soups and sandwiches on their homemade bread. then we went into seatle;

pikes market, piroskies--yummy

beechers cheese factory across the street from the market

the wharf, a shared order of fish & chips at ivars & ye old curiosity shop

doc maynards underground tour and pioneer square

and then outstanding seats at safeco field in the 9th row behind home plate. it's fun to watch from there even if the mariners lose.

then back to bob and katies hotel for chicken foot (a game with dominoes) till 1:00am. the day had started at 5 am or 6 for all of us so we were tried, but it was so fun to play.

come up, we are good tour guides, life is good here in the n.w.

love you, aunt Le Anne
