TVs - I remember when I won a beautiful 15" or 16" ? color television set from a drawing at a local bank that was opening. I was thrilled. It was much nicer than the black and white we had had. This would have been early 1980s. My late dh's boss came over and made fun of what a small screen it was! Even then! Screen-size "status"!
Lilac, that is amazing good fortune for someone trying to sell a house. Your city/area must have a real estate market much better than any around here. I hope someone who will really appreciate the house is the one who gets it.
helia, I know exactly how your dd16 feels - so many projects, so many interests, creativity just bursting out, but so little time! Yes, keep reminding to toss the non-creative, uninspiring or cluttery things - she doesn't really want them, she just can't see them.
All best wishes, Indiana.
