However, water can come in. Our friends suspended ceiling in the Arizona room collapsed with the insulation on top of it. We have come back to a house ruined by water even though we had hired someone to look after it. The list goes on. That is why we don't have time to work anymore1 :)Barbara Torrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05114209481329773753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306252283429139894.post-56521649665292720912015-11-09T19:18:26.849-08:002015-11-09T19:18:26.849-08:00B and I were just discussing this issue today.

I used to hang onto stuff, but now at my age I think I've gotten beyond that. At this point, I just want to pare down and simplify.Tom Sightingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611148987085476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306252283429139894.post-22365153747733933382015-11-09T18:10:39.936-08:002015-11-09T18:10:39.936-08:00I have been on a cleaning spree lately.

I have shoes that are 20 years old, but the still fit and they are classic styles. In fact, I've been wearing a lot of my old shoes lately because they fit better. I haven't been able to get rid of my suits I once wore to work. Maybe, I just want to prove that I once wore that size!Retired English Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306252283429139894.post-69611585299417588772015-11-09T18:03:23.540-08:002015-11-09T18:03:23.540-08:00Good luck with the dust.
