We spent the end of December and the beginning of January cleaning out the Jenks house because Mike and Kelly bought Mom's house. We caught the organization bug. We cleaned and took many truckloads of junk to the dump and to the Salvation Army. Chrissie faced many dreaded spider carcasses and even touched one because Eric made her. In the end, all of Mom's stuff made it to Stroud, which gave us our second challenge. Mom had been moving to progressively smaller houses, and she wanted all her stuff to fit well in her nice little farmhouse in Stroud. So we organized everything, starting with her office. Eric and I got very into organization. Mom said we could be professionals =) Eric made Mom a very detailed to-do list. It got to where Mom was scared to mention things that needed to be done because Eric would add them to the list. In the end, everything was beautiful and Mom was thrilled. Then, when we moved to California, there was another organization job waiting for us. We had to reorganize the garage so we could fit all our extra stuff.
