I had visited a friend, an elderly lady. Her home is exactly the same as it was 45 years ago when we first met, but way messier. She just adds things to the corners and horizontal surfaces of her living room where she mainly is. It’s messy and cluttered because she has only ever straightened up the coffee table!Exactly backwards of what to do! (She lives elsewhere, or I’d go over and help!)
