So far, all the boxes we have been emptying contain items we had in the Schooner. So, the memory is not that old and we are well aware of what we are missing. Eventually, it all shows up.

The apartment is filled with boxes. They are filled with a wild range of our life including our dishes and cooking utensils and binders of quilting ideas, and clothing, which has not been missed. I went through a binder of Quilts of Valour patterns I designed, a trip back in time. So many of the patterns I had made with a maple leaf design, and a real - now dried - maple leaf that was scanned for the veins to guide the quilting.
