Reducing, Reusing and Recycling

Whew! It's finally here, YARD SALE WEEKEND! I have been stumbling over the mountain of stuff in my dining room for 2 weeks now. It will feel so good to get rid of it all, either by selling it or donating it to Habitat Restore and Elite Repeat as soon as the sale is over.

Last week, my Mom, Sister and Nephew came over and helped clean out my garage. For those of you who don't know the story - my house is over 105 years old and I bought it pretty full of furniture, artifacts and stuff, including the garage. I have gone all the way through the house but I have parcelled out the garage cleaning as my own personal treasure hunt. Every year or so, I get the urge to go spelunking and what a better place but my own garage! I have found wonderful things such as an ancient metal grinder, dozens of empty (and some not so empty) Wild Turkey bottles, all sorts of unlabeled chemicals and paints and even some random window frames, picture frames and plumbing fixtures. Yay!

But now it's time to part with some of my findings and the beneficiaries will be those early risers on Friday morning in Perkins, Oklahoma. I'm almost jealous of the wonder and awe they will feel when first seeing the mountain of minutia that has inhabited my little home for 100+ years.

Stop on by if ya get an urge!
