Too hot to be in the yard (94 humid degrees at 2:00 PM).  Today I’ve puttered with indoor tasks. More pictures added to “In my garden.” Gathered glass jars and glass containers from several locations and will advertise them “free” on the Rainbow’s End email exchange of information. I tossed some food from the freezer. It was probably still good but several months old. Next I’ll defrost the freezer (the old-fashioned way with the hair dryer). I ate every perishable veggie in my refrigerator. Tomorrow, I’ll need to go shopping for more fresh fruit and veggies. (I’m not eating in the CARE dining room. My intestinal discomfort is gone since I returned to my vegan diet. I think my energy is returning, too.) ~~ So much to do; radical downsizing as soon as it is cool enough to work in the mini-storage unit (down the highway).

On Sunday, I sold the unique-shape-and-size Army foot-locker purchased in 1960, in Paris, France, military PX salvage. Also sold many decades-old lace, linen, and damask table clothes, and personally embroidered scarves and doilies. Several table clothes dated back to my grandparents. I’ll never have another occasion to use them; I have very limited storage space; my children and grandchildren are not interested in my memorabilia.

I regret the recent purchase of the cute little salt and pepper shakers. “Dust collectors” and a sad reminder.

So many memories; so many dust collectors!!
