dumpster day / part one

wow. how fast can 2 people fill up an entire dumpster to the tippy top? about an hour. that's what David (my son) and I did today at my mom's house. we filled it so fast, the dumpster company is coming to pick it up tomorrow and bring an empty one. and we will be back. tomorrow. to fill it too. it was a morning filled with bag after bag of receipts, birthday cards, newspapers, business cards etc. I don't think my dad ever threw away a piece of paper that came into his hands. it makes me re-think all the junk I have stashed away. it might be time to simplify. AFTER I finish at mom's, that is.
