@JudyEv I have aprons that were given to me as gifts, but never wear them.

There might be people out there who still like to wear aprons. I have a half apron that returned with me from Latvia. I have it tied to a food shelf in the kitchen. It has become a memento to me from my mama. She wore this apron cooking loving meals through my babyhood and my childhood. Scares me to think how old that apron is but I love gazing at it each day.

Vince wears an apron when he cooks but he wouldn't wear this one.

@Shavkat No, I haven't taken it in there yet. It will just sit on the shelves until it sells.

@moffittjc Okay Jeff. Just for you I'll keep it a bit longer - and next time I throw it out, I won't tell you. How's that for a bargain?

Yes, it does but neither of our sons will want it and it's just taking up room. I might chicken out in the end and keep it.

May be it was a project to try to "unify" the school world, I fear it failed.

That's what I've been doing all week - sorting clothes out for the charity shop. I had all my husband's clothes to bag up, and while I was at it I got rid of quite a few things of my own. Fortunately, the charity collected them.

@JudyEv Yes, it wasn't a nice job. He was always a snappy dresser and had lots of good quality stuff, but it's all gone apart from a couple of his suits that my daughter wanted to keep.

It really is pointless for us to keep anything not essential. It must be pretty difficult sorting through your husband's items.

I'm surprised you still have it. I don't know what happened to my apron, which was my first Home Ec project in 9th grade. It was also yellow plaid with huge flowers on it and pockets.
