My 61st birthday was a good one. Breakfast at LG Cafe with Jen and the kids of course. Its been a tradition within our family but a favorite well before and so we continue enjoying it. Tommy gave me a nice card with a message that this year was an opportunity for growth as a family. I appreciate that and the much-needed shoes, too! After a stop at Sports Basement (sandals), we return to Pano and then hit Matson hard. I got through all of his stuff in his room and he went through it today so tomorrow it's all about donations and/or giveaways. I cleared the 4x4 shelves out (a neighbor took 'em) and we worked hard all day getting all the other rooms cleared out and boxed up. Today was focused aggressively, and I do mean aggressively, on the Panorama garage being 'thinned' in advance of the onslaught of stuff about to come to fill the garage. It's crazy how much I got done. I was in the zone and finally got the momentum going to where I'm 80% finalized on where a great deal of stuff's going to go, or just being gone. I used Craigslist to post "curb alert" posts and gave away a laser printer, closet doors, blinds, frying pan, gazebo lights…. Just a lot of "stuff". I also thinned out and started moving the plastic shelves and bins out too. I'm not anticipating needing or keeping many but that'll be the final step once we're fully out of Matson. Tomorrow we'll be going one last time in the morning to finish getting everything 'staged' for my Tuesday efforts moving it all over. We'll also return to Matson for the annual 4th block party too. I BBQ'd burgers tonight and last night as Sous Vide steak. We're using the patio so much, it's amazing how functional it's been. I put up the solar lights on the back fence and the 'flame' lights on the front steps today as well as hanging some additional heritage illustrations and the German newspaper in Tommy's room.
