Must have been a popular blueberry picking day. We did come home with about 8 1/2 pounds of rasberries though that we all picked and bought a few blueberries that were there in the store as well. Was fun to pick berries and eat some too! The boys were running around with rasberries on their fingers like olives! LOL!

It makes storage more convenient because you can move a whole section or pull down a whole section without rummaging and "unordering" the whole closet to find one thing. :) I was at Costco today and brought home two boxes with high sides in which to keep our sheets in our upstairs linen closet. Who cares if sheets are wrinkled? :) One thing I’ve realized as I get our house in order — it’s all unpacked, but not fully “in order” yet — is that it’s actually easier to do when you’ve been in a place for awhile because you know where you use things, where are the convenient places, and where are the hiding nooks and crannies for extra storage.\par
