1. Packing up is the bad side of moving, but at least you get it out of the way first!

We've been in this house for over 30 years & I got rid of boxes & boxes & boxes of stuff the last two summers. At one point I stopped trying to sell it & just gave it away. Do a search on Craigslist for things like china or food processors & you will get back pages & pages of selections! I found an FB group of families who lost their homes in a fire, so that had it's own rewards, they were all so grateful.

Is china supposed to be capitalized when it refers to dishes, cuz it always shows red, even in Word.

Good luck with the move!
