More to Give Away

Hello,

The pile of give away items keeps growing even though I believe that I have looked over the entire house to make sure that we want what we have. Don’t get too excited most of it is not really valuable things, but as I told Leroy, “We could almost have a garage sale we have so much.”

“I agree,” he said. “Do you think we should get rid of the couch?”

We can not decide on that or the TV. The couch sags in one spot, but the TV works even though it was my mother’s and she died in 1998. Now, of course, TV pictures are much clearer and newer TVs are smaller items to carry around, however we both have a little trouble getting rid of something that still works.

Leroy did get three big boxes packed in the basement and in addition sorted through his stamps. He is going to take some of them with him so he can work on them as we tour around. I understand that to mean he will put them in albums.

I contacted the company about our water kettle that no longer works. I have the warranty card and the sales receipt. I was pleased with myself that I could scan those items and email the company. I had not scanned anything for some time and I was impressed that I got it done on the first try. Older brains can learn and retain some things. Upon receiving that attached scan, they emailed a prepaid shipping label to me. Wow, between the phone and computer this was a fast job.

Brian and Jen have sent us some monthly shipments of organic fruit. Six delicious Oregon peaches came today. These are the best I have tasted since eating some off the tree in Miriam’s yard. Even though these have been shipped they are nicely ripe. No give away with these, we will eat and enjoy them all.
