Adventures With Patti

Here is a load of stuff I donated to the Courage Center today. I’m able to get a tax deduction of almost $400 for this--and it’s not going into the landfill. Yay! I feel lighter already!

We got about 4 inches of snow. Spicy stayed out overnight—notice the paw prints near his house. I will have to shovel before taking more stuff up to the garage. Or just wait a few hours for the sun to come out. 

Emilio, who’s in Germany, specifically requested pictures of rooms in our house as we empty it out. So here are a few more.

Gauss arrived in Menlo Park on Friday afternoon, March 4. He doesn't have Internet hookup at the cottage yet, so his posts will be spotty.

Little green arrow shows the location of the cottage in Menlo Park. Gauss' office is about 12 miles north in San Mateo. Click on the map for a larger view.

Some pix of the house on Paragon getting cleared out. Gauss working in the garage; the dressing room off our master bedroom now that the loveseat is gone—it's basically storage for art; Our closet, after Gauss packed (his clothes were on the top rod); Emilio's basement bedroom minus bed and nightstand; Furnace room minus map file, which I sold on Craigslist.
