2025 OneThing #45 - Miscellany

 I haven't even wiped off my September info and written October in yet!

Here are some of the extra things I've done:

We donated furniture from my father-in-law's room to Bridging in Bloomington. What a great organization! They use volunteers to help with donations, repairs, etc. so that people moving from homelessness to a place of their own can have furnishings and household items. It feels good to donate to them! (And to get rid of things we don't need.)

 

This desk was purchased by my sister-in-law Del and I thought about keeping it in my sewing room. But I am terrible about cleaning and the open shelves are dust collectors.

 

Lou had lots of lovely photos of family members on them. He also liked the pull-out drawer shelf thing.

A few people have commented on how cool this furniture design is . . . art deco, maybe? Sure, there might be a flipper who would love this and give it a new life, but I just wanted it gone.

Lou kept his socks, underwear, etc. in here. It's pretty heavy but the veneer is pulling away in places. I just didn't want to invest more time and energy into this.

The nightstand was sturdy and easy for me to carry alone. It went with the other two items.

I have two pieces of his furniture that Viv said she wanted but she didn't have time to deal with on the day of the funeral.

I have another eight(?) that I'm going to try to sell. Louie is going to keep at least one of the filing cabinets to put tools into up in the pole barn.

Next, I'm tackling the clothing. Everyone who wanted a shirt was able to take one. I've already loaded five bags into my car to drop off tomorrow. There's plenty more here to deal with!
