Hi Carol,

You've got cabinets, cupboards, closets, etc.

 CS> Charlotte toys she's now gifting next door.

 RH> Good idea--"new" toys for them, less clutter for you.

 CS> Yeah except Don wants the Elmo doll <g>.

To auction off on e-bay? (G)

Good to see it's holding water. We've never had anything bigger than a
20 gallon; the last one we got in AZ when Deborah had an offer of "free"
fish from her Challnge (talented and gifted) teacher.  The free fish
cost us a pretty penny in aquarium seet up.

 CS> Ouch.  Well, we have several *small* things, like the old exercise

Sounds logical. Why go thru all that paperwork hassle if you don't
intend to keep it.

 RH> Good.  Hopefully the other will be equally strong.

 CS> Hope so.  The packers were really careful.

Ours were on some things, not as good on others.  But, they were more
efficient than the set coming out of AZ.

 CS> Good news, our house insurance barely changes and we get more coverage

Sounds good.  Now you can get the professional level stove you've always
wanted.  Add a few extra ovens, freezers, walk in cooler, etc.......
