Sorting

Once again I am sorting through the massive amounts of paper that have accumulated in our closets, bookcases, drawers, all over the house.  Wednesday morning I worked on the area around the piano where I keep music and music-related items.  After about an hour I had removed this stack of books, papers, copies of songs, and catalogs.  Most went in the blue bin; some will go to the White Elephant sale.  I also went through community chorus music and papers.  Most of that was recycled, freeing up a nice tote bag.  Now the floor in front of the etagére is clear, and the binders that sat on the floor beside the piano are on a shelf.  Some loose papers still need attention, as does my Clavier Companion archive.  This work is just the tip of the iceberg:  genealogy forms and research, scrapbooking supplies, bank statements, books, fabric and quilting supplies, the list goes on and on.
