Clutter clean up in progress

I had supper tonight with two friends from High School. We had a great time catching up and updating each other. We all live in the same town but paths just never seem to cross.

I came home to find my back lawn covered. DS1 made it home and had emptied one of the two sheds we have in the back yard. This one is mostly full of camping items. 

I was really impressed with DS. He had it all laid out in categories. Tents in one spot. Cooking devices in another. Xmas stuff in another.

He was incredibly patient with DH, who hates getting rid of anything. When DS2 got home he joined us. We probably tossed about 10 big garbage bags full of broken or unusable items. Dad's trash is getting picked up in the morning and he has a lot of room in his bin so DS2 ran over to fill that.

The items for garage sale were dumped in our garage (it was getting late). DS and I will go through it tomorrow and price it and then move full tubs to my dad's (where we will have the sale). The items that were still relevant and part of our lives went back in the shed. You can actually see the floor and walls of the shed now. I could feel it sigh in relief as only about 1/3 to 1/2 ended up going back in.

DS1 certainly seems to be on a cleaning roll. I love it.

We also went to CAA and booked his flight to Europe. I have exactly a month tomorrow until he leaves me for a new life. His flight will get reimbursed by the team so we splurged and paid extra for leg room for the two longest parts of the flights.
