George, you are to be congratulated on this fine job of decluttering. My
DH just gave me a book to read, Living the Simple Life by Elaine St. James.
The back of the book jacket reads "You'll see that simplifying is not
necessarily about getting rid of everthing..." Guess I'll read the book
today. It's a crummy day outside anyway.
