A Woman with a Lot of Baggage

We've been away at the beach so my cleaning was limited to the glove compartment of the car and my travel make-up bag. Small wonder that I have not mastered the art of traveling light. I had enough dried out, not-so-moist towelettes to clean up after a preschooler's birthday party.
As I was putting away the suitcases I decided to tackle the luggage section of the attic. Good news...If I ever have to move all of my worldly possessions, I apparently have enough luggage to pack it all up. Nine large suitcases, four overnight bags, a half-dozen gym bags and dozens of canvas totes. I also found 13 passport cases. The extra 11 could come in handy if I ever go into the spy business and need to assume multiple identities, but I set aside that possibility and threw the extras in the donate pile.
Also taking up valuable real estate in the attic is our tax returns for the 70's, 80's and 90's. I saw in the Catonsville Times that there will be a shredding event at Catonsville United Methodist Church on Sept. 15 from 10 am to 1 pm. I'm hoping I can get Tom to part with these relics of our financial pasts.

Thanks for the reminder about the shredding event. I knew there was something coming up but had forgotten the particulars.
