I have called them the Wastebasket on occasion, because of all the crap down there. The way I figure it, when things get put where they FIT instead of where they BELONG, it's only a matter of time till the mess is back. Can't teach this to my darling husband, so I'll just have to join you in the basement mess club. I hope straightening yours isn't too much of an ordeal.Connie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640847503018468156.post-50837317253333570382013-07-26T13:12:48.914-04:002013-07-26T13:12:48.914-04:00Love the Mountaineer's 'voice'!Love the Mountaineer's 'voice'!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640847503018468156.post-17600281922741861412013-07-26T12:17:52.430-04:002013-07-26T12:17:52.430-04:00A girl after my own heart - sharing books!
