Dice

 For this time of downsizing I go through a box every day.  If I don't find anything to get rid of, I go through another.  Today's box was one that had very little that I wanted to get rid of.  I did find a few things though.  Other things that I am happy for:

• One of the things I found was my bag of dice.  We have been playing D&D and we were always using Bel's dice.  Now that they are on the way to Texas, I found my dice!  Once they are settled I think we are going to try to play over the internet, I'll need the dice then.

• Another thing I unpacked is a book on herbs that belonged to my uncle.  There were also a couple books about the Appalachian Trail and some craft books.  I rearranged some of my shelves to make room for the unpacked books.  There were two that I decided to put into the donate pile that were on the shelves.
• Somewhere in the middle of all this recording and downsizing I realized that I probably have at least 46 shirts that I could have worn during these 46 days of downsizing during Lent.  Today while looking for a shirt I found a sweater and a button-up sweatshirt that I no longer want.  More things going away.  I've definitely found places for more things to go than I have gotten rid of.  It is a talent finding room for all the things.
• After asking Keziah a few times to go for a walk with me today, she finally said yes.  Then, because Zed was going out she said no, someone had to be home for Gideon.  Zed didn't need to leave right away though and wanted to go for a walk.  In the end, all four of us went for a short walk late this afternoon.  We saw a mountain in the distance that looks like it has ski trails on it.

• Nanni, the brown tabby, decided that she wanted attention today.  She came out of her little box and down the banister so I could give her some scritches.

• Since Zed was out, the rest of us watched a movie during dinner.  We decided on something that we thought Zed had seen and chose Escape to Witch Mountain.  It was one of my favorite movies and books as a kid, Keziah's too.  Gideon really seemed to enjoy it.  I wonder if I will eventually unpack my copy of the book...
