Memories .... light the corners of my mind

My three siblings and I worked like crazy all day in our folks' old house, trying to get it cleared out. They moved from a three-bedroom house into an assisted living apartment and they couldn't take much with them so there is a lot to go through and divide up.

Friday night, the four of us met over there to kind of look around and divide stuff up. We went from room to room and talked about what we'd take, but we also did a lot of reminiscing. We four were born over a 10-year period, so there's quite a gap between oldest (my sister) to youngest (me), but we still have quite a few shared memories. None of us grew up in this house -- we moved my folks out of that house and into this one in 1996, but we've still made some nice memories there. I'll miss it.

We're going back tomorrow to load up some furniture. I'm gonna be tired for quite a while.
