Today we went to an estate sale…:bought nothing. My husband loves these things….I do not….they always make me sad.
I walk around and I look at the memories…cherished gifts…handmade gifts…lovely painting with stories and a $5 painters tape sticker on it.
While I was there a lady from church gave me a huge compliment….and I’ve been riding the high all day. I am not going to tell you what she said ….I am gonna keep it to myself…my husband heard it…but if you could hug a compliment…this one was it.
The Estate made me think….I keep having this conversation….I had the same one last night when we were at friends house. We organize all the stuff…we shop the stuff…we are overwhelmed with all the stuff…and then we donate it or sell it for $1….why????
This Fall I am turning over a new leaf….or should I say…shredding a leaf….ha!
Less is more….
Age apparently is doing a number on me….I am obsessed with growing things….dahlias and zinnias…even pumpkins! Sustainable vegetables did horrible for me…but I am not giving up…..
For now….I will rejoice with my Dahlias….
At the end of my life….I want all the experiences….I want people to think of me and think of red noses…I want them to remember a house that welcomed them but not overwhelm them….
Don’t walk through my house and put a $1 sticker on my clown stuff….take and use it….the way Miss Dot would have….
Speaking of Miss Dot….my clown friend Brittani doesn’t stop….look what she designed for me!!!
