Thank you all so much for your comments and suggestions yesterday. I did take it all to heart and am pulling a few things out everyday and finding new homes for them. My daughter is trying to downsize too so she didn’t want much but she did offer a home to some unused picture frames! So far I haven’t found anyone who wants the cassette tape storage cases, can you imagine??
I am glad no one suggested a garage sale. I just can’t do those anymore. So much work and then you make $200 and spend half of it on pizza and Coke for your helpers! But the worst part is having complete strangers pawing through your stuff and offering you a nickel for something that in your mind is worth at least fifty bucks…and that’s not counting sentimental value. Much easier to give it away and be done with it. In my next life, I swear I am going to move every five years whether I need to or not! Staying in the same house for 35+ years just makes it too easy to accumulate “stuff.”
So not much else to report. Russ had a doctor’s appointment today and the nurse was nice enough to include me in the flu shot dispensing, even though I didn’t have an appointment. Glad to get that out of the way.
And now for some gratuitous dog pictures! Ya’ll know how much I love my dogs. I admit Rusty is getting a little clumsy and senile but he is still my boy. He loves nothing better than to sit and watch the pool and the yard. Most of the time he wants the sliding door open and he’ll lay on the carpet with just his paws in the doorway so I can’t shut the door. Yes, I indulge him! But yesterday the weather was not too hot and not too cold and he enjoyed just laying on the deck. I had to get some pictures as I still think he’s a handsome older fella…
It seems so many bloggers have lost their pets recently and my heart breaks for each one of them. I am so grateful for each day I have with Rusty and Poppy. They truly are my fur kids.
