Day 10 - A Second Desk

Two generations of people in the houses means two desks due to different needs.  Today I went through our desk.  Quickly I pulled out a worn out book mark, a worn out ID card holder, a dried up marker, and a cereal toy.  I also pulled out 4 checks to be deposited in the bank, a bill to be paid, and an insurance card to be put in my glove box.
