Everything is Picked and Sorted


I have slaved over a hard desk, used my computer, red pen, fairness meter and have done my best to make sure that things were divided equitably. For the most part, the duplicate selections were sorted out by all of youbut for some I did my best to compare lists and make a decision from there. I hope that you will see it as fair and be happy with what you have ended up with. I haven't decided whether I will send an email to each of you with your list of if I will post it here. Keep watching.



Note: Nothing can be taken from the house before it is sold. Do not contact Grandma about this. She has left me in charge and would like that I handle all decisions about what goes out and when.
Kitchen items have been sorted and boxed and left in Barb's house for the Pitcher kids so check out your mom's house at your convenience. There are a few other items there as well.
We are having some re-wiring done in the house this week, then I will clean it and put it up for sale this weekend. Access to the house will no longer be available as it has to stay in "showing" condition.

Final Days

Two more "shopping" days

By late Thursday evening I will be going through the lists and writing down everything that all of you have requested and then taking the list to Grandma on Friday. There will be some decisions that will have to be made for those things that have been requested by more than one person, in some cases we will look at what other things you have received and in most cases it will be the flip of a coin. I don't know how else to make it fair. Once this is done I will send you a list of the things that are yours. We are having a garage sale on Saturday so anything from the kitchen that you want I will take out before we put the rest into the garage sale. Most of the rest of the things you will need to wait until the house sells as I am using them to stage the house for sale. We are hoping for a quick sale but that may be hopeful and not reality.

I for got to mention that there are the games as well. Perry Mason was Barbara's so any of her children that might want that have first choice. Wide World and Life were mine but I am willing to give up Life if anyone wants it. Of course Grandma would like Brandon to have the Carpet Bowl if he wants it.

I had asked Grandma for the 5 crystal glasses that are sort of funnel shaped (sorry, no picture available). They have always been my favorite but I really don't have anywhere to put them and I have seen that several of you are requesting the crystal goblets so if one of you would like the funnel shaped ones you may have them.
