Well some kitchen items are going away Thursday, along with three trunks, YEAH! :) Trunks don't do well long term in storage sheds so I have wanted to give those trunks away. They've been spare seating in the meantime.
I am feeling tired already, it's getting hot, but I have to go out to the garage and throw some things out, and some kurva sina had a party on my lawn, and didn't bother picking up his beer bottle. The appraiser was in today. A nice lady.
Well off I go to do my chores. :)
