@Loving Life…I’m with you on decluttering! I hate it! Been at it seriously for over a year and still there’s so much stuff I don’t use – taking up space. I’ve read the books and I KNOW how I’m supposed to go about it; it’s just hard to look at something that’s really cool (like all my backpacking gear) and admit honestly than I’m not going to be doing any serious backpacking ever again. But, I love that gear!!! Maybe one of my granddaughters inherited my “wander lust.” So, maybe I can keep it a bit longer? 🙂
A positive report on the spinach…it’s beginning to look a bit better. I may yet be able to harvest a few leaves sometime mid-Jan. Yeah. And the onions are crazy tall. After Christmas trip I’m going to try planting some more of those veggies I buy at grocery store to see if I can get them to root and survive. The celery bottom did great for a couple of weeks, pushed stalks up but then suddenly collapsed.
Oh, yes, speaking of my backpacking gear, I was going through it and found some really cool items I’d forgotten about that I’ll move into my BOB. Another emergency blanket, a small pair of binoculars, and some really good wool long johns.
Got my car serviced today to be road ready…need to remember to put BOB in it before I leave. Love my car! It’s a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo four wheel drive. I’ve offered to give it to several of the grands but they turn their noses up at it….not fancy enough for them.:) But that car has served me well and still has only 150,000 on it…good car, paid for, drives great and with the back seats down I could sleep in it in an emergency. Number 3 son thinks I perhaps should get a new car, but I’ve followed the Dave Ramsey financial plan for years and I love living debt free and having a wee bit set aside. I figure if my car consistently starts and gets me from Point A to Point B safely, then I’m way past caring how old it is. It’s an antique and I’m an antique…we’re a pair. Feeling good.:)
