what will they find when I am gone

Mike sent me this tonight after reading excerpts from "Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant", by Roz Chast. You see we have a set of unused Bocce Balls in the basement that I purchased on Ebay fourteen years ago. Good ones, never have touched our hands. When I retire I'm taking up Bocce. Oh and there is also a giant colander, a garage sale find. It was such a good deal we couldn't pass it up. If I take up canning on a full time basis, it will come in handy.
So what will they find in your house? My mother had a closet full of plastic margarine containers. I have to fight my genetic predisposition for saving such items. Mike fights the urge to buy every Coleman lantern or stove he sees for sale at this dangerous season of garage sales.

the blogger returns

The sewer is done and we await concrete.


And the marigolds are all planted. I'll be ready for Dia de los Muertos.


And I'm ready for a bath and a glass of wine. And maybe a day off. These weekends are tough.
