At a garage sale, last summer, Leroy
found some sports/ski goggles. He got them to see if that would help him to
ride the bike in cold weather without steaming up his glasses. He wore them
this morning. He was so excited about it he had to call me when he got to work.
“They worked! I could see just fine with no fog on my glasses. I should have
had on warmer gloves, and warmer socks, but the rest was all good.”
Those functioning goggles are a
bargain indeed as he paid just a small fraction of the original cost. On that
same garage sale trip around the community, I found some glass storage
containers that I have been using at least every week if not every day. The
price differential is not as great, but the amount of use makes it all worth
it.
On that trip we also got the water
kettle which I have not really liked, but have used since then. It has been a
good teacher showing me the features that I liked about my former water kettle.
I consider it a cheap education. So am happy with my new water kettle even
though we have not yet opened it. I am pleased with all that I see on the box
although I do wonder about how far the lid opens.
It is all about that idea of one
person’s trash is another person’s treasure. Now if we could just figure out
how to make the match all of the time there would be a lot less in our trash
bins in this country.
