Yes, we still have bins and boxes still hanging around...some on the lanai, some in the garage and some in the house (office area). And they are wearing on my nerves! I want to finish with this unpacking! We have furniture, lamps, plants, etc. But we haven't finished unpacking everything, thus we haven't decorated the walls, hung the paintings & pictures or set out the various knick knacks that I know we have (somewhere).
Today I unloaded 2 bins and found some very surprizing things....I found a bin of casserole dishes and other kitchen items. I thought all my kitchen stuff had been unpacked within the first 2 months of our arrival! All this time I was wondering where those dishes had gone. I couldn't believe that I'd have gotten rid of them in Haiti...but things happened so fast in the last few months that I could NOT remember what I got rid of and what I kept! I'm glad to have found these dishes (a couple had been wedding presents), but now I'm going to have to find places for them in my kitchen - but that's a good problem.
Now there are 2 less bins on my lanai.
I also found a few Christmas things - again, I'd wondered these last 2 Christmases where those particular items had gone.
It was some pleasant surprizes. And it was a great day to do it. The high today was 77 degrees, while Dan shivered in the snow in Chicago at 7 degrees!
