Nothing has been organized
That’s fine
You can see my room, the doors open, you can come in If we begin from one end, you can see that all this furniture fits, it’s amazing, isn’t it? Just precisely, unbelievable. This is the way Dad organized, I couldn’t figure it out, I organized with binders
Here is all the fine things Here is my clothes Here is dad’s old things What my aunts made, my jewellery This is my fine things This too Plates That’s that In here, photo albums,
And here I’m trying to divide all of everyone’s things. And… And these are negatives And these are pictures I’d like to put up Weddings Songs Letters Finances Old things that don’t work anymore Our Denmark trip Dad’s various things Things to throw out What was on the desk in old days The guitar is gone, Lars has it Old things New things are here All my ‘hjemme’ That’s that Much to throw out Everything in the basement Nothing really here, our clothes and yours Toys Photos here, all Kare’s binders here Downstairs, when I don’t have anything else to do
In the innermost room, nothing important, ok, it’s your comics and… Here, yeah, all my Christmas boxes and
And Dad’s clothes, I don’t know what to do with Our suitcases This is nothing Lars’ magazines This is yours, mostly All of these are boxes that were emptied, upside down This is all toys This is from Grandmother
When I organize this I’ll put all in your boxes
So there is all these boxes, all these, all these, them, I don’t know what they are, Most are likely letters, when Dad was sick.
Kind of exciting, I’m looking forward to looking at Drawings Some are from Dad’s school, his students These are cameras I don’t know what they are There is a lot of interesting things Mixed up What one will you take?
Oh I have one
These are letters, you can see, family letters, New York trip, Are these interesting? So what do you think? you can see how much we have you can’t imagine how much I want to go through this, but I want to throw out you can see, in Grandfather’s box… some are letters we got back maybe I want to throw out, because you get sad, right? Maybe? If I’m in the right mood I may throw this out, but only when you are done. if you see from here and then the next that is this one, this is from our yard, this one, is from our yard this one, from our yard This much at one time that blooms
