Incidentally, as a follow up, it's 2 months later when I last blogged about dredging up my mom's hoarding. The GREAT news is that her apartment is rocking out! It looks and feels amazing. A red kitchen, a sleek white bathroom, purple carpeting, and beautiful furniture. Most of the stuff will never go back. All of the clothes fit her and look terrific on her. And, . . . . drumroll please, she's so healthy! My mom hasn't felt this great in years. Yay for her!
