AROUND THE HOUSE by Linda Packer Young

It’s been a chore deciding on getting rid of excess stuff “around the house”, but we have a number of items we are donating to habitat. They will be picking up some at the end of the month. Several boxes containing books, duplicate appliances, and “devices” are going to other charities. A box of mystery cords is headed to Through the Trees. We have no idea what they were for but hope someone can use them.
