The end of the

school year is coming up a week from tomorrow.  We are finishing up items, practicing graduation songs and a few perceptive children are realizing that once summer comes friendships may not last due to moves and new schools.  Yes it is a part of life, but it's always hard to say goodbye to those you love.

On the home front we had an estate sale for items at my mother-in-law's old house last Saturday.  It was quite an undertaking (and we may have to have another in a couple of weeks).  A note to self - put a note on the back of items as to where they come from, take photos of items where this is not possible and write down where they come from, pack all items that go together in one box.  If you pack away silver items don't cover them with plastic wrap thinking that will help you not have to polish.  Some of the wrap can decay onto the silver and it is a pain to get off.
