Hall Closet Discovered

I'm not sure how it happened.  I was organizing some Christmas boxes and wrapping paper getting ready to put them away for the year when I went to the hall closet and suddenly found myself on a chair pulling boxes and sacks down left and right.  Out came the trash bag and in went a LOT of precious things I'd been saving for a long time.  I can't remember why I was saving any of it so OUT it went.  (Dear family, don't panic, mostly it was wrinkled gift bags and old empty boxes.) After discovering new shelf space at the top of the closet, I worked my way to the hanging clothes and found some great jackets/coats that will keep someone else warm as soon as I get them to the Thrift Store.  And then there was the floor of the closet.  It can now be said that you can see the floor again.  That cleansing process now involves washing the myriad of stocking caps, gloves - both matched and mismatched - to either keep or give away. The problem is I still have all of the Christmas decorations to still be put away.  Maybe another day....
