A day of lists

Remember yesterday I told you about my drawers and lockers.  Well here is proof it is neat... or so for a week or two.  I can also shove more clothes all the way up on the inside.  where the panels go about 6-8 inches is pack sweatshirts that you can't see and neither can I.  If I want a winter shirt I have to dig until I find it.

One way to get to know people of the area is to go to church. So we biked six miles to church. Then hung out for wifi at a new coffee shop most of the day. While there we created the master list. When I look at it I get a little overwhelmed as there is also Pam-office work as a first priority.

So for those that love lists .... Here it is... And I know I have forgotten things and some things I did not put Down each step but the end results...
