No more storage unit...

This weekend we finally cleaned out our storage unit. We now have all of our junk in one central location. Yeah!! When we moved from Dillon to Billings, we didn't have time to do a garage sale, so we just packed it all up and hauled it over here. Now we have the time to sort through our "treasures" and se what we want to keep and what we want to discard. The discard pile is growing by leaps and bounds!!!
In one way it was very nice to be able to get my collectibles back with me. I really missed my elephants!!! ( I just didn't remember that I had so many.) Now the hard part comes with finding places for all the things we kept. Bruce has quite a job in front of him in organizing his work shop - also known as the basement.
Sunday was Father's Day. I have been without my dad since 1977. Bruce's dad is still with us and we are always glad when we get to visit him and play golf with him. On a more personal note...Bruce is a great father and father-in-law! When the girls were growing up, he did special things with them all the time. When the girls were in High School and played soccer, he became a referee so that he could travel and see all their games. In the 6 years of their high school soccer careers, between the two of us, we only missed 3 games. He loved it when the girls wanted to go hiking or fishing with him. Now he has two "sons" with which to spend special times outdoors doing fun things or working or projects. Now he can also be a GREAT grand-pa (Geezer).
Here's to you Bruce - a great, great Dad!!! (not to mention a pretty terrific husband!!!!!!!!!)
