I hope everyone is keeping safe! It has been quite a challenge dealing with social distancing, changing our shopping habits and having so much time on our hands. What have you been doing with your time? I have been working in my basement woodshop using up all my odds and sods wood to make a line of birdhouses like the one I have on my landing page. Please share what you have been doing as a comment. I wanted to share this post from Home Instead Senior Care about having a Power Of Attorney. I hope that all of you have recently updated your wills. Having a Power of Attorney in place is a critical part of the package. With today's blended families, the fact that your choice for Power of Attorney many years ago may have passed away- or is no longer the best choice- for your families sake have another look.

WEEK 4 Day 16 House Maintenance Products. Partly used paint cans, construction material, old windows, screens etc. can be dropped off at Winnipeg 4 R locations. Day 17 Home Workshop And Craft Room. Have a good look and decide if you will be using any of your tools or materials in the future. If not both can be sold on Kijjijji or donated to art programs such as Art City, Art Junction or your local high school. Good Neighbours Active Living Center Wood Shop ...and Canadian Wood Worker have annual used tool sales. Day 18 Garage. Dispose of any partial containers of oil or other liquids. Our garages often end up storing odd pieces of leftover fencing material, that extra 2x4 from the deck, gardening suppliesyou name it. If it has been hanging around for more than a couple of years it will probably never come in handy anyway. Time to let it go. Give it away or put it out on the next FREE Winnipeg pick up day- you will be amazed what gets picked up. Day 19 Photos. This is one of the harder tasks! As our older family members pass on they leave us with a legacy of photos and documents. Plus, we have our own photos of family holidays etc. Discard or pass on duplicates. Many people scan photos and family documents and store on a memory stick. Ask your teenage grandchild how to do this if you need help. If you are really ambitious have the scanned photos printed in book form for your family. Day 20 Furniture. The major reason seniors are hospitalised is because of a fall. Falls are often caused by tripping over area rugs, extension cords or furniture. I highly recommend getting rid of all area rugs and extension cords and eliminating as many extra chairs and tables as possible. This is especially important in bedrooms and living rooms. Over the weekend finish off any uncompleted tasks and enjoy a well earned rest. Next week I hope to hear how the Challenge went for you. Did you get through all four weeks? Which week was the most challenging? Any suggestions you can pass on to others?

Okay, we are onto Week Three of Our Decluttering Challenge. How are you doing? I have heard from a number of participants how nice it is to have more space in their kitchen after following our tips in week 2. Now we tackle the bedroom. Be ruthless. If you haven't fit into those pants for more than a couple of years send them off so someone else can enjoy them. When was the last time you bought or sold property? I thought so. A lot has changed since the dawn of the internet. N...Continue reading
