Now that our kitchen is going to be demolished it has encouraged us rather quickly to go through our current kitchen and assess what we really need for the new kitchen. What we found is that we don't need the 30-40 odd bottles of liquor and assorted drinking stemware that we currently have. So yesterday I sent out a note to our peeps and announced our give away this Saturday. Well, someone jumped on the news and came over and took the majority of those bottles with them, leaving us with about 10 bottles left and glassware. Its funny all the stuff we amass over the years. Really we don't need much but much we have. I try to clean out the best I can throughout the year but sometimes things just pile up in corners or cabinets that you don't even think about until you stumble across them one day. Anyhow, now that we are parents there probably won't be any big parties and by nature we are not big drinkers so the need for all those liquors and mixers was pretty much gone. Of course, we kept the whiskey and the champaign for those nights you just need to relax but everything else is up for grabs. So glad that someone else can partake in the liquid libations and that it doesn't have to go to waste. Now, what else can we get rid of? Tiki Bar anyone?

Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...
