Good for you, cleaning all that out of the basement! So sorry about the oil tank leak, though. Ouch!
Yeah, one day my mom and I plan to tackle her attic - admittedly it's not all her and dad's stuff, there's mine and my brother's stuff up there, too - I know I'm missing some books, for example, because I've been through the massive collection here and some are not included, lol. But it will be a CHORE for sure.
Maggie is a brave ladeh. She came out pretty quickly yesterday after all the chaos. I was proud of her! :)
PS - good to see you!
