AN EMOTIONAL DAY-edited

I told my friend I would pack up the clothes in her trailer and bring it home for her. Should I have thought of all the repercussions???? Maybe, but I NEVER THINK. I thought it would be easy. Open a garbage bag, drop the clothes in and finished. I was super wrong.  First I went to her trailer. I tried in vain to open the door. That was a good thing. I forgot that her trailer was moved down to the front of the campground because it was going to be sold. So I finally went to one of the owners to ask them where her trailer was. He pointed it out to me so I drove right over. That was the easy part. I opened the door and then realized there were no stairs. I had to climb up. So I did!!!! The trailer is filthy!!!!!! I wonder if that’s the way my trailer looks before the cleaning lady comes in to clean it before the season starts?????? I started to go through cupboards etc. I filled about ten garbage bags. As I filled them I threw them out on the lawn. It was so emotional. I was just happy that she is still alive. I wonder what it is like when you clean up and the person has died. I only did it for my mother so far. It’s so difficult to go through other people’s stuff. What was so important to them is "trash" to us!!! I took two of her pictures to hang up in my trailer. Our trunk is filled. 
We came home around four. I took everything out of my hubby’s van and put it in mine. After swimming tomorrow I will bring everything to my friend. She will have a worker there so he will be able to take everything up the two flights. I certainly don’t want to do that.
My daughter called while we were driving home. She was busy with her boyfriend’s family.
My son and his wife stopped by after he played baseball. They bought me another charm for my Pandora bracelet. Too bad I left the one they bought me last year in Florida but I had another one here that I bought so I added the charm to the one here.  My other son called. I was worried that he hadn’t called because it was already late.
Hubby and I had supper alone. That was fine with both of us. I crawled into bed about nine but didn’t fall asleep so here I am. After this entry I will finish organizing my new scrapbooking supplies.
Hope everyone had a pleasant Mother’s Day.
