I've maxed out. Closed this blog. |
This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by. |
I'm getting into cleaning out the closets and cabinets finally. I'm giving away a box full of flat sheets with not fitted sheet, king size pillow cases that don't match anything, tablecloths, rice cookers (we have 3), and so forth. And I can't believe the way my hall closet looks! I've been taking clothes, shoes, and belts, and a few knickknacks to Good Will. But the local church won't take clothes for their annual yard sale. Things will go cheap, but they usually make a nice profit. All of it goes to mission projects, like the mosquito treated netting for Ghana. I'm just getting geared up, after a slow start. I have a feeling some Christmas wrap will go, now that we mostly use gift bags. But that's in the garage, and I haven't made it there yet. I found a box of weird ceramics, stamped Japan on the bottom. My understanding is that only dated Japanese things are worth anything. They would be from occupied Japan. After that, everything was more cheaply done, except electronics. Neither the church nor Good Will will take vases from florists--too many out there. The china cabinet is next week. Someone told me that old board games are almost worthless, as are children's books. They only want current toys and books. I'm getting more organized, and my house is looking roomier. I might even get some office space for my father out of this. And the church will benefit from my cast-offs. It's a win-win. |
