Life Stories and Beyond

If you dumped everything out of your junk drawers into a big plastic storage bin, stored the bin in the barn and pulled it out three years later, what would you find? If you look at this picture closely, you too could play seek and find with me. Unfortunately, the box must’ve sat and gathered our kitchen remodeling’s sheetrock dust before a lid was put on.

I spent half this day cleaning all this stuff just to see if there’s anything worth keeping. These items are in the “find a use or donate pile.” The rest went in the trash. If you know me well, it had to be bad or disgusting to go in the trash. When I asked my son, Sam, “What should I do with some of the stuff,” he said, “I don’t know. That’s why people have junk drawers.” Helpful.

Three plastic desk organizer bins are still soaking in a detergent-filled bin to get all the crud off so I can put them to use when we eventually get our barn organized. There’s always something left to organize. There’s always another junk drawer.
