DD2, yes the Dr.!, left lots of stuff behind, when she graduated and began her “grownup real” life. She was driving up to WV, to start her job, and couldn’t take everything with her. That’s how I ended up with her full size bed. (Can you imagine trying to drive all the way to WV, with a bed strapped to the roof of your car?? Wise choice, my girl!)
Notice the arm clutching the mattress! That’ll hold it for sure!!
Anything that she had outgrown as a student, and wouldn’t need as a professional. Also, things from her apt that her new roomie already had.
As none of the clothes would fit me,
I tried first to give them to family members. My nieces had already gotten new clothes for school, so no go there. A few of the T-shirts were so small, PP could wear them as big sleep shirts. The rest I donated to Salvation Army.
Shockingly, there were brand new school supplies! Lol Some of these went to Michelle’s Living Liberty Camp, which teaches kids the real history of the founding of America, including that our Founding Fathers were Christians!! Others went to Harvest Church, for their back to school outreach.
The coffee pot went to SA, cuz I don’t drink the nasty brew.
The George Foreman grill, went to a friend of Rose’s.
(And did I remember to take pix of ANY of this?? Why nooooooo, of course not!)
The shoes were my size, in length, but my feet are nowhere near as skinny as hers!! So, I even missed there.
However, the scarves! Those, I could fit!! Too bad, I hate scarves.
Anyway, more stuff purged from my house! YAY!! (And it wasn’t even my stuff to begin with! But, once it’s in the door, back out it’s got to go!)
Blessing and thank you for sharing have a good day

Congrats to you and DD2. That will be us next May when our DD2 graduates from medical school! Temperatures in WV are very different than in FL. Hope she “weathers” it ok. We had our house flood to get rid of most of their stuff. I wouldn’t recommend that as a solution!

So are you officially an empty nester? My youngest is 4 so I have a ways to go but already have mixed feelings about it. My husband of course is counting down the days. I love the pic of the mattress strapped to the car. Guess she was determined.
