WordGirl #1 Week 15 Sort

This was fun! I had a box under the pool table with magazines and other reading material in it . . . almost all of it went straight to the recycle bin! (If it's more than four years old and I've not had time to look at it, it's not likely to happen.) I saved a few things like quilting mags or things torn out of a newspaper to peruse; those went into a more current box of reading material.

Bonus! I found a book from my school media center on grant-writing that I had been looking for and thinking I'd have to pay for! I don't plan on writing any grants, so this one went back to school and got off my checkout record.

The other sort happened when I was filing financial papers from 2016 (now that taxes are done, filed, etc.). I thought we were only saving seven years' worth of info just in case we're ever audited. No, I had bank statements from 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009! So I emptied a box by getting rid of the oldest paperwork and making the last seven years' worth fit more neatly.

Now we have a "shredding" date tonight to get rid of those papers that we no longer need. There's always more to do!

I had hoped to do even more sorting, but it was good to get cleaning and cooking done for Easter dinner. I may have to have a "greatest hits" of the 52 weeks when I get to summer break . . .
