Oh, I am so sore that after dinner I just pass out and watch
a movie. I have aches in places that I didn't know I had.
However I am almost finished with the putting back and
tossing out.
Speaking of tossing out, I had a strange experience yesterday. I put an old victorian table out on the curb
that was missing two of it's feet. I would have saved it
to make a shelf but Ted dissed the idea and since he would
have had to make the shelf I let him win. This woman knocked on the door and asked if she could have it and I
said yes. Then she came back and asked if I had the feet
and Ted invited her in. Big mistake. I thought we would
never get rid of her and she left her phone number. Ellie
was picking up the kids at the time and it disturbed both
of us. Next time I will put up a sign that says free, as is.
I intended to write a serious post. While I was putting
books back in the bookcase, I read a passage now and again.
One of them was written about the time of the Declaration
of Independence. Re-issued of course and there were several
passages very appropriate to today. Maybe next time.
There are shelves full of such fascinating ages! You can go into just one, and spend half a morning merely picking up various volumes and just browse through it - there are the 'massive' old family bibles which are leather bound and sometimes with small 'lock and key' fastenings. Fantastic day out!
