Now, I've only included one page of what was a three-page note fully spelling out all the tasks that needed to be completed. See how nicely it's outlined; Mom sure had a knack for neatly organizing her list of "what do to" in a beautiful format. You'll notice that the only single word on this list that's underlined (aside from the categories) is the word "out," as in throwing something out, which clearly (as we KNOW) was an issue for Mom. She had the intention, but not always the follow-through.
A side note: the last line on this page seems to say it all: "Continue Cleaning..."
We've been working away furiously on preparing for the big Graduation Party in 2 weeks, and now that the backyard and garden is almost completed, it's time for us to move to the inside of the house, so how lucky for me to come upon a list from Mom reminding me of all the things we to do in our home. Now I don't need to make my own list (though, if I did, I'd promptly toss it when complete).
How nice to have a Jewish mother around when you need her (even after she's gone...).
Love this To Do list. I can relate to the problem with the "continue cleaning" directive. And also the throw things out mention.
