“A butterfly flutters through the foliage near Kidd Island Bay on Lake Coeur d’Alene,” reports Councilwoman KerriT/OnLocation North Idaho. “North Idahoans become cautiously optomistic on the first day of Spring since Mother Nature is known to throw a few curve balls in late March and early April.”
Adult Kids’ Belongings:
How many of you, still have your adult children’s things stored at your house? College kids don’t count unless they have been in college 8 or more years. My kids have been gone for about 20 years or more. Yet, I still find something that I still have of my adult children. I have a small stool that belongs to one child. And a living room table, that another built in high school. He has been out of high school since 1986/Cis, Simple Mind. More here.
Question: Are you still storing some of your adult kids’ stuff?

My sons are 35 and 36. I have a huge computer box full of stuffed animals that I have been ORDERED to save for future children. Now, would you give your new grandbaby a worn, dusty, probably bacteria-ridden, yet very loved, hairless teddybear?

DFO: Can I store them at your house? We need the room.

I have given up storing anything that is not used in a three month period. We can do without most things in our lives, start getting rid of them.

Storing things for both of our daughters from high school and college, as well as some things my In-laws left behind when they moved! Thinking this summer might be a good time to purge!!!
