This week I’ve started getting ready for my next BIG garage sale event. This will be bigger than any other one we’ve done. We’re starting off with a major basement purge. Pulling STUFF out we’ve forgotten about, STUFF other people have given us from their purges. Put it on a shelf and it stays untouched for years. I found a cute red toolbox full of plastic rulers and pencil leads, canning jars full of years-old pumpkin and turnip greens, and no telling what else!
In the process of getting ready for the sale, the basement gets cleaned out too, and that makes me soo happy. It’s gotta go y’all, or I go to the crazy house. But I’m a DIY’er too, and I find myself looking at things, turning them over…wonder what I can make out of THIS? When I started doing that with old worn-out, hole-y garden gloves, it gets ridiculous, dontcha think? Into the trash they went.
And this week, we’re trying to get into a groove with our new dog, Leo. We’ve gone from a 20 year-old dog to a 1-year old pup. We’re getting more exercise in a week than we’ve had in 10 years! He’s full of boundless energy. Keeping up with him will be a battle, but so far, we’re winning… I think…but I’m not getting much else done.

Enough about me, and Leo….let’s party!

Florence, Leo is a cutie! I know what you mean about going from an older dog to a younger. Molly was so perfect for us “seniors”; and Sadie is really keeping us on our toes! She loves playing and going for walks. If she had her way, we’d be walking her most of the day and letting her run and run. It’s not going to happen and I hope we’re winning with her as you’re doing with Leo. Congratulations! Also, thank you so much for hosting this party each week.
Carol, I know! That is exactly Leo. He wants to run and play all the time. Not going to happen here either, LOL
