Getting Rid Of Stuff

I have been going through my apartment sorting my belongings. I found a family that needed my kitchen table and chairs and some of the kitchen things.

I have been taking inventory of the record albums collected over the years. They have to be my heaviest possession and take up a lot of room. I like a variety of music.

The books are mostly all packed since the trouble with Central Vermont Community Land Trust started. I lost one very large library, before I moved into this apartment. When the trouble started I packed the books. I did not want to lose another library, that took years to replace. It looks like I will lose most of them anyway, as I have no where to keep them where they will not get damaged. I would rather give them away, or sell the ones worth anything, than to lose them again.

About the only furniture left is a couple of chairs and a folding table. I did not own a bed or couch. I was going to build book shelves, but never could get permission, in writing, from representatives of CVCLT to build them. After all the trouble for my building a stall that is not attached, and being accused of altering my apartment over it, I do not dare do anything without written permission. This has made it very hard to enjoy my home, as all my books are packed and I am a compulsive reader. I did get verbal permission, but do not dare without proof build anything.

My lease is up in March. I have to find an RV or camper by then. The largest requirement for my RV is the door being large enough for Earl to get through. Several of the campers had doors too small.

When I bought Earl it was a commitment to care for him the rest of his life. When I work with Earl I keep that commitment in mind, and know that all training will help him find a good home, if he outlives me. A useful horse is a good horse. He is almost over his terrible two's!
