Spring Cleaning Done Once Again!

The giant spring cleaning mountain sinks into the sea once again! This year we conquered the big projects in 3 short days. One day to do the lodge, women's and men's dorms, one day for the whole first floor of the main house and basement of the church, and the final day to do the main part of the church and the dining room building, which we did day before yesterday. What a crew! I was greatly impressed with everyone's speed and cheerfulness!
I have to add though that the sheet room, alias "lost and found" room or "Fairwood's chief dumping ground for things we want to temporarily get out of sight and not have to deal with" was about as bad as I've ever seen it. First of all, the pictures and awards that are normally on the hall walls were all stached in there because they don't look "nice" on the walls for our Christmas dessert banquet. Likewise all the "messy" hangers from the coatracks had been dumped in one huge heap in a corner. And to top it off, two gigantic boxes of filthy sweatshirts and in-line skates from the gym entry way clean up had been put, guess where??? on the floor to welcome me as I gazed in the door in horror. I sputtered and fumed and fussed because you know that I don't like to suffer in silence. I stomped to Gretchen's door and asked her about the skates. Yes, she had put them in there! Grrrrrr! In her defense, as a "rover" for the afternoon, she came to my aid and cleaned up the huge heap of hangers, thereby helping to return my grumpy spirit to one of reluctant acceptance as I attacked the other heaps of stuff with a vengeance. Why old toothbrushes and dirty underwear and part used tubes of toothpaste
continue to get dumped in that room is beyond my comprehension, but at least I get to heave all that stuff most gleefully as I'm cleaning out. Really, really, you would not believe all the things I found, but I won't bore you any longer. If you lost in-line skates or a dirty old sweatshirt, you can go to the dump and search through the piles of stuff there and if you're uncommonly lucky, you just might find either one.
Final warning. Do not leave stuff at Fairwood because this merciless person will heave it quickly and forcefully in a moment if it finds its way to the "lost and found." You can pray if you want to that someone more patient, deliberate and thoughtful will clean out that room next year--like Sharon! And finally, if you lost something very valuable like a pair of glasses (Dave Murray?) or some really nice sweatshirts or a couple of Red Sox hats, I didn't throw those away. They are awaiting your claim in the newly cleaned sheet room! (or Clyde may have pirated one of the Red Sox hats for the time being.)
