However, we did have one useful item..our 'regifting' carton..big box up there..all the really bad Christmas and birthday gifts nobidy could stand, went up there..then whenever we needed a last minute gift..for a co-worker, or a secret sanyta..just run iup there, rummage around, and pull one out..
My mom never threw anything out. When we finally cleaned out the house, I found my baseball cards, including a few Mickey Mantles.
