    Nothing says 'we wish you well in our old home' like a few empty hangers and Cipro.

    Uh, medicine just left about -- scary. Bathrobe -- Salvation Army. Print -- keep. Hangers -- you can always use more hangers. Silverware -- do you feel a surge of crafting coming on???

    There was a half-empty box of Cheetos in the cupboard when we moved in to this apartment. Todd made me throw them away. He's so mean.

    I think if I were to leave something in this way it would be a map to the first of many hidden clues to an epic treasure hunt around the house's little nooks, hidey-holes, and secret spaces.

    Not only would it be a really fun thing for the new owners to find, but it would also be a great way to bid farewell to the house and rekindle some old memories...
