There have been 2 set back to my decluttering project. First my neighbors whose house I sold moved temporarily in with us  for the last 5 days. It has been  lovely having this time to spend with these dear friends but it has caused me to take  a hiatus from my projects. They have been spending these last days trying to sift through and to determine   what to take, what to store ,what to throw away from the last  of their  26 years of accumulation ( this in itself should be a real incentive for me to get back to my piles). The next set back may be more serious my housekeeper took an emergency leave for Mexico and may be back in 2 or 3 weeks. So my evenings are filling  with laundry, dishes and vacuuming. It is hard to find time for anything else. Hopefully I will find some temporary help otherwise there will be no postings! I will  give my self some declutter credits -I got recently printed  family pictures into an album early this morning.
