| | I’M GIVING IT AWAY!!!!!
I’ve tried twice, to go through all this leftover fabric to make quilts. My company came last Friday and we went through a BUNCH!!! She took home a huge box full. Today, I started to go through some more, thinking I’d keep some of the brighter stuff for a really colorful quilt. After about forty-five minutes, I lost all interest. I called a cousin, who quilts all the time, and she said she’d be here Saturday to go through it. After that, I’ll call a nearby church, and if they don’t want it, it’s going to Salvation Army or Goodwill.
Last Friday’s company lives several miles from me, so she came prepared to spend the night. We went through fabric, went out to eat, worked a jigsaw puzzle and went to bed about midnight. I woke up about 3 A.M. and couldn’t go back to sleep. A while later, I could hear her, in her room, coughing. I could never go back to sleep. Some time after 4:30, I thought I could smell bacon. I got up and went to the kitchen. I said, “I THOUGHT I smelled bacon.” She said, “You’re too late. Breakfast is already over.” I had a cup of coffee, and we visited for a while over the breakfast table.
About 6 A.M., we decided to start another puzzle…..a bunch of hot air balloons. We got all the balloons put together, but not the background. Time to go to lunch, …. at the little restaurant close by, where I eat many of my meals. She then went on home, and I came back here. Finally finished that darned puzzle yesterday afternoon. I like to put them together, but feel it’s such a waste of time, because then you just turn around, tear them up and put them back in the box.
My neighbor has also been emptying closets. Yesterday, she and I went to town and she took a bunch of stuff to Goodwill. While there, we went shopping. Just before Christmas, I had ordered two leather coats, returning each of them. Yesterday, of all places, I found one… JUST WHAT I’D BEEN LOOKING FOR AT GOODWILL!!! It was on the better rack, and can’t tell it from brand new. Best of all, it only cost a third of the price of the others I sent back!! I’m wondering if the original owner even wore it.
Today, I got in touch with the folks in Phoenix and told them I’ll be driving out. There are two families and I told them to get together and tell me when is the best time for them. I’m thinking, while I’m that direction, I’ll head down into Texas to see some other friends. Most likely, sometime after March 1st. So now, I HAVE to finish cleaning up and getting rid of this closet mess.
Bedtime for old ladies. See ya next time. Granny
