Part of the process of moving is saying ‘goodbye’ to things … whether you’d intended to do so or not. In this case, we’re going to be saying goodbye to all of our clothes-hangers. Yes, folks. In our desire to be organized about packing, we removed every garment from its hanger, in order to fold it nicely, and to vacuum-bag it. This was to save space as well as to protect the garments. Somewhere in there we organized our hangers, intending to tape them together & nest them in a box – with little things inside the long column made by the space inside the hangers, so that they wouldn’t consume too terribly much space.
Well, we forgot, obviously. There, sitting pristinely in our closet, sit our entire collection of ‘good’ hangers … waiting, now, for the garage sale. Sigh.
The train leaves on August 30, first thing in the morning. We have 17 days in which to get the cars sold & the last odds and ends wrapped up.

It is deja vu all over again…we also forget to pack our good hangers, each time a family member comes to visit us here, they slip a few of them in their suitcase and bring ’em over.
Better to have forgot the hangers than the clothes!
Oh, there are other things which have been forgotten … and will either be sold or given away. The hangers were just the things which truly epitomize packing for this type of move, I’m afraid.
When you’re not taking everything, it gets rather dicey, unless you’re more organized than I. Ahh, well.
Poor orphaned hangers…..
