Before It Happen

Before I went to work. Stop in at our local library to make up some flyers for our "Bull" section at HEART ROCK WINES
We meet and gab.
Since I use alias there been a few of our flyers been taken down early. I have good hunch who is behind this.
One thing that I read some one broke into our local Catholic and Lutheran church here in Bonners Ferry.
I can see a lot similarity in these two faiths
 And pulled some Satanism stunt. 
Our group worships the earth and seasons.
There is complete different is living our spiritual path on your sleeve and putting it to good use.

I thought I would have a little more time before Carrie and Regis was heading off to Oregon. I thought it would be more like first of next month.
But there friend Earl is possible coming up this weekend and getting a u-haul and taking there items down.
I have my fingers cross that he can't make it up to a little later. She is no shape to travel to BRANDON OREGON and her husband and friend is heading down early.
To set up the place
And she takes some heavy medication and her next ones are due, I believe is the 23rd of March.
But for a short time and I talk to Murphy about her staying here. He had no trouble with it and I still will send my time slip in as I usual do.

Before I move on and tried once again to help Murphette. Which I know is a lost cause. I started to do some coloring in my adult coloring book.
Now back to Murphette. I gave her a call and to see if she knew or heard why she was refuse services for in-home care.
All of my other client is in better shape the she is. Now I'm wondering what she said to medicaid nurse.
Well I told her about 3 places I knew that was coming up. 2 mobile homes both 2 bedrooms. One has a fence yard and close to both of her daughters. $450 for rent.
She claims she can't afford that.
My friend LaWalla got in a subsidize apartment in Troy Mt and her rent is under $60 a month.
So I told Murphette about these opposition.
On the Troy she says she has no "Connection" with Troy. And can't afford $450 a month rent. Both places she would be close to her grand children.

Well her plan and I don't see her going though it. She going to down to the Bay Area. If she can't afford $450 a month rent here. How in hell is she going to afford to live in Bay Area. We have a bigger income and I know damn well I can't live in Bay area.
Her disability comes to around $750.
Well some people and her included, will CUT OFF YOUR NOSE DESPITE YOUR FACE

Murphy went to our local senior center and for the first time took part in FIT AND FALL and I believe I'm going to start up also.
I been getting in a little bit more movement.
Weigh in tomorrow at T,O.P.S. Not sure what scale will read.

checked what was up in my one flower bed. I planted a white lilac bush which survived the winter and  some of my "snowdrops" are up. Although not fully open.

Didn't Happen

Had every intention to go and down size my bedding. The other day I went though and took the blankets that wasn't worth keeping, take to the thrift store, or yard sale.
But the rest is in pretty good shape and I don't need or want as many blankets I have. I figure 4 for the 2 queen size beds. That gives us 8 in total. But still have a twin bed.

Mange to go and sort out some tops. If they don't fit mostly in the boobs and shoulders. There heading to the one of the thrift store.
I was giving my clothes to the "Hope House" or free store who is to give a hand up. I known two people who doesn't fit the stereo type of Christian and had trouble there.
If they offer a service to help the down and out. Do it then
But I complete understand they need to be rules.
My client Regis had trouble with those people out there. He is a little different and see the world in different way.
Then my friend Alice daughter Katie. And wrote a note by her name not to give her any clothes. I know she was trying to get items for her brother son, and her brother is blind and don't drive.

Yesterday I got some new tops at both of the pets thrift stores. One of the thrift store had a mega sale. Can't say all clothes was on sale. But a good portion of them a $1.00 a piece.
The bottom top I pick up for a $1.00.
The other two I got at the other thrift store.
Not sure but recently I been want to wear paisley prints. I recall in first and second grade having paisley print jumpers. Which my mom made for me.

Also found an chair at the thrift store for $7.00 and not sure what sort of discount I got at there mega sale.
But it slides nicely under the sewing desk.

Murphy help me set up the stereo and forgot or the left speaker came undone. No big deal and looking to listen to some  AUDIO CD"S
But before I try and cd's I'll buy one a local thrift store, make sure everything is fine. Then if it lift off then I'll get them form the library.

On the genealogy I been trying to find my Maternal grandparents in 1930 census. I know they was living between the towns of SCOTTSBLUFF and MINATARE.
And before the next federal census they was living in North Idaho.

Sleep Off

Not sure why I had trouble falling a sleep last night. Carrie and I went to the Casino and played a little bit.
She made a $100 and I made $25.00. She started with $20 and I started with $5. I don't play the slots all that much.
I know there set up for the house to win.

But I checked my e mail and got a notice from our accountant that we have to pay in. About $2.300 which was a total shock.
I was thinking some where between $100 and $500 possible.
But I was taken back a bit.
I have to pay self employment tax on my job it sit up as a corporation and I bought in. I get a subsidize s for my health insurance which was over paid. And I didn't pay quarterly.
Murphy and I made about $28,000.
His social security yearly income was$8,840, my job I made $15,500, and Murphy took $4,000 out of his IRA, and I got $2,000 to much on insurance subsidize.
So now I'm wondering what the perfect income would be.
Actual I don't mind paying taxes but when people makes a lot more then me and pays a small percentage of income for taxes.
I wonder what Candidate Trump pays.

Today was the first day I went to Liz place. Her and I took went to the local thrift stores. As she was looking around the 2nd chance thrift store. I went and deposited my check and put my winnings on the credit card.
Hopeful by tomorrow I can show you what I got at the thrift stores.

Murphy trim up the raspberries and haul them up to the dump. First thing done in Garden. The other day I saw a robin, and a large heard of elk.

I Was Wrong

Over the years I thought this yellow building was own by one person. Some rich Californian  Who migrated up from California. And some time California get a bad rap.
But it seem they all had big union jobs and now have there pension, which the union got for them.
Now there the biggest "Tea Party" people and since they got there and now they are the most selfish people.
If I sound selfish and jealous "I'm sorry" I have actual know some cool Californian

Well as I was out walking and actual the big yellow building is a Mennonite Church. I knew there was 2 up on North.
But this one is what they call the WOODLAND and I could find a web site to the one in Bonners Ferry.
The link above is to one in Kansas.

   This morning I took Carrie to the pain clinic in Sandpoint. And it looks like there better then a 95% chance she will be moving to BANDON OREGON
I thought it would be a little later down the road. Mid April to the first of May.
Anyhow with her hip surgery she isn't ready to take such a trip.
I'm going to bring up the fact traveling that distant would set her back. Wait a little bit or have her fly down.
As she was in the doctor I gave Murphette a call and remind her that our pagan group SPAIRFITERA  will be having a general get together.
and see if possible her up coming living arrangement is coming along. Not try to be to snoopy. The place she was living want her out the first of April
So I found her and empty apartment in Troy Mt and it part of HUD Plus there openings. I thought her living in her van she would of woken up and learn something.
But now she said she was heading down to the BAY AREA and the LIVING is very HIGH THERE.
There must be some thing real wrong with her thought process.
We make more money then she does and there no way we could afford to live there. I would guess her emotional process and her decision making skills are at preteen or early teen years.
But one thing I notice she keeps a journal and the only time she writes in it. When everything is going just great. When she goes to her therapist every thing is just fine..
At this point I don't believe there much help for her.

Been managing to get a little more walking in. Eating been fairly good. Stop in at Taco Bell for lunch. Tried not to stuff my self.
Breakfast potatoes and eggs. Dinner was pork roast, bake potato with butter and a salad.
Also a three cookies. I would rate them medium but not quite big in size.
I did finish the hat I started but still need to tie it off.

All in all and if nothing goes terrible wrong, and even with minor mishaps in life. He and I could live on $1,200 a month.
So if I could keep doing home care with the same company. I would need 14 hours a week.
Which Murphy social security check is $669 and my monthly income would be about $560.

There plenty to do around here. Start to clean, sort and organize under the stairwell.

Some Done and Not

Did get a little bit of paint applied to my smilie, the soul. Not sure how I'll be doing the boots yet. Confession time...I notice as I get older I seam not to be as stable as I once was.
It seems like my mom sides has some type of tremors. My Uncle Bob has PARKINSON, a least I have good posture.

I did get a little extra walking in today. I tried to increase my pace a bit.
I know every one knows what Candidate TRUMP looks like. I figure most people want to look at North Idaho beauty.
But since your hear. It seem like a lot of what I hear that people who is drawing SSI are for Trump. I don't see him help these people out any.
Plus they bitch about taxes. Where in hell do they think there benefits come from.

Notice some of my Spring bulbs are showing up.

This was going to be for my Grand daughter. As you can see much to big. But I like box style hat. So I'll keep it for my self.

Eating went fairly well. No weigh in tomorrow. Taking Carrie to the pain clinic. I might as well be right up front I had to candy bar.
Breakfast Scrambled eggs, sausage links that is and 2 slice of tosat.
Lunch I pack four items only had change to eat 3, thin slice pork chops, piece of cheese, and apple sauce which I ate at home.
Dinner chicken fried steak, pickled crap apple, and mac and cheese. With a small glass of red wine.
Well I end up having a small bowl of cheerios with raisins.

Actual I'm tired so I'm going to end this.

Better Then I Thought

Got chance to go though under the stairwell. In the very far area of stairwell was all of my ceramic glazes, underglaze and overglazes.

It was to my surprise that very large majority wasn't dried up.

Inventory on paints won't be as hard. I know the names has been change on some of the glazes. Two of popular glazes was Egg Nog and is now called SPICE CREAM (IN 1027) and the other one was   

IVORY BELLEEK (IN 1629) which didn't change name, just numbers and letters.

Like I said I don't expect to do any real ceramic until I'm 60 years old.

It will take close to 4 years to get it set up. Since I still need to bring in study income.

Have plenty of bedding. I figure 3 blanket for each bed on the average. We have two queens and a twin bed.

Not sure what all we will keep in bedding line but a good portion can be placed in yard sale.

  Not sure what is all in these boxes I did take a quick peak. Some of it I figure is my sons and rest is off to the trash can, to be used, yard sale or to thrift store.

Murphy raked the south east corner of yard, which is our back yard and some around the “royal sunshine” flower bed.

Took a trip to the dump. Now I got everything back under the stairs in order. So it will be easier to go though.

First will be bedding then the boxes.

One good thing about going though stair well items that I got it compact better. Broke down a few boxes which I send to the dump in recycle bin.

Plus I got two boxes of books and lamp shade which I'll take to the thrift store.

Ziggy sure did enjoy his nap in one of the boxes. Could hear him sawing logs.

Didn't Make It And Started

Thought we could fly down to Medford to see Sawyer and Betty. But we could get on an air plane. My daughter in law works for Horizon Airline as flight attended. But all day Murphy and I was waiting at Spokane Airport for an open set and nothing came up.
There quite a few ways we can fly. If my son or his wife is on the flight we can fly free. Then they can give us what is call a guess past, and we pay only taxes to get on board.
But with possible change in my hours at work, I will know mid March. And I'm shooting for a May trip.
Then we can possible see CRATER LAKE
Plus I think it would be better to wait until tax season is over. My son and his wife is having some what a disengagement on how to handle there taxes.
Don't want or need to get involved in there personal life.

We got the last bit of our tax papers. So Monday I can take it in Monday and hopeful before March 1st it all done.
We have an accountant do ours.

I now have all my fabric to start my rag rug. I was little worried about the browns that will be going on the far end. I want a lease go around twice. If it goes more then twice, that will be so much the better.
I start up on trying to crochet a baby cap for my up coming grand daughter. This time it going a lot better.
Still having trouble doing the pattern. A lease the cap isn't so drawn in. But I think there should be more slip stitches.
But who knows how it will come out.

Murphy and I haul a little more fire wood into the basement. Plus we finish up poop patrol. The snow in garden is all gone.
I did some brisk walking around the place today.

Start to go though the stuff under the stair. Looks like a lot of pictures. Most of books are heading to one of the thrift store.
So far not that much trash.
But all in all I don't believe they be all that much from under the stairs to be placed in the yard sale.

I didn't go any place and had pretty much a stress free day. Food didn't have to be come my crutch.
Breakfast was some hot cereal with raisin and slice banana. Lunch was a bowl of chili and piece of toast. Add a few blue cheese crumbles in my chili.
Dinner a thin pork chop, half of my plate was a green salad and I put sesame oil. Also had some mash potatoes which took up evenly part with my chop. One table spoon of ranch dressing.
Snack was gram cracker and milk.

Not Lacking In Crazies

I've been using speech dictation and Audio with google chrome. I did a little research on if I could use it with “open office”

I'm always leery of down loading things on computer.

Actual I didn't do all that bad in high school typing. Even I shocked my kids that I actual new how to type.

I was called into work today. Carrie was having a some type of panic attack. She had hours coming to her.

This morning I talk to my field boss.

Carrie did get her hours increase I believe by 2 hours which was my old hours. But only until the end of March.

Stop over and see if Alice want to go to fabric store some time between 1:30 and 2 in afternoon. Can't beat 40%.

I was ask about the fabric I use, when doing my rugs. I get my fabric from all sort of places. One of my favor thing are old sheets out of the thrift sore.

Once I got a large bag from the give away house, and use that before.

But this time most of the fabric came from the thrift store. Also working on a certain color scheme

Also I was ask why I eat to much. I eat to much for I believe is many reason. But I would classify my self as an emotional eater.

I eat not because of one or two emotional eater.

One of them after a stressful situation is handled. I give my self permission to eat then as way of transforming my thoughts.

Not sure if this is an emotional reason to eat or not. I eat because I'm bored.

Have to say I did much better today. No eating after 7. Like I say after work I gave my self permission for a .25¢ ice cream cone.

Confession time....I usual feel like I'm a basket case. People tell me I have a calming personality. Even at one time my husband Murphy said he told me.

If a ship was going down in the middle of the ocean. That he would want me in charge. He figure I could keep calm and not panic. Get every one off the ship safely. Not lost of life.

But I know if I had to handle something like that. As soon as that is over I would eat a big piece of cake and ice cream with it.

I would guess Regis and Carrie will be moving the end of April or first of May. So there go the biggest part of my pay check.

There two more coming on board. But how many hours will they get it any one guess.

As I was visiting with Alice during the summer hours she want to take off Friday. So she can go to the craft shows.

Her client Candy isn't all that hard but the way her husband treat her is awful. Haven't seen him hit her. But threaten her and calls her all sort of fowl mouth names.

And he cusses at people on television. One time he said to the TV actor HUGH LAURIE 

Threaten if he every came to his house. And which he isn't. That he was going ram is f^*^& C983084 in his Mouth.

I just don't know if the money is worth it. After a few hours with him Confession time...I'm afraid I would have to just pig out.

It only four hours and I would have to drive 45 miles around trip.

One thing that change. I was looking though newspaper article for any info on my Grand dad Clarence. I found a list of people who was in the hospital at that time.

My step grand mother “Pearl” was in there end of May.

She died the end of September the year I was born. As far as I know she never came out West.

Do you know what sort of “law suit” a hospital would have if they list there patient in the paper.

When Will I Get My Head On Straight

Weight in wasn't good at our local T.O.P.S. I know I eat to much junk and don't get enough exercise in.

Took Carrie to Post Falls to see her doctor that did the hip surgery. And I knew a cut little thrift store close by, and I was hoping they might have some brown cotton fabric I could work on rag rug. No such luck.

They had a new consignment antique store and they had some lovely vintage dress. I found one and I believe it would of been from the 1950's.
I was way to big for it.
Didn't even bother to look at the price tag. Not sure if I could every get down that small. I believe I would look emaciated.

I did mange to find some brown fabric at two of the local thrift stores. And I stop in at one of the fabric shops in Bonners Ferry.
Got my "gold" which is one of the switching colors.
It is a Christmas design fabric. It won't make any different it going to be cut in two inch strips, and know one should see a design in the fabric.
Besides it was 40% off.
With 40% off I might see if they have a green and red for my switching colors.

I'm fairly tired and my camera is up stairs and also the fabric I got is still in car. No photos and I believe I might try to do a little more painting on the simile hunter.

What Is The Trouble

I complete understand why Carrie and Hershel want to move. But as long as I've work and when my Alice had them as clients.
There was always going to move.
When she worked for them he was heading over to the Dakota and work on some type of transportation company.
Well he would say I'll be going over to Dakota in month, then a week, then in four day, then next spring, and etc.
Well there friend Earl who had a massive heart attack, and his driving days in Dakota ended. So some how he end working for some low income senior community.
So now there talking about moving to BANDON Oregon. Since there friend Earl is there. And this time they filled out an application to some low income apartments. Usual they talk and take no action.
I understand there not many on the list and one lady is moving out middle of March.

If and there is a lot of "Ifs" in life. I won't have them for clients any more. I been trying to get more hours for her since her hip operation. But the rate there going she could be doing cart wheels.
But my goal is to get 10 more hours. So with increase in Carries hours and maybe anther part time clients I would have my 10 hours.
Now with Carrie possible moving.
Who know how the hours will work out. But Liz and Murphette sign up for in-home care but it hard to figure out how a medicaid nurse will score them.
So I'm a little worried on having my hours cut.

Between Carrie and Regis I stop over at Alice her and I was going over to ALLEY FABRIC NOOK  but there was a sign on the door saying "will be back in a minute" didn't want to stick around.
Had to get to my other client Regis.
But visited with Alice and she is wondering how much longer her client Candy will be at home and heading off to a nursing home.
Her client is in horrible shape and is pretty much bed ridden. Has a portable potty by her bed and it massive under doing to get her on the potty.
Usual she pees and or poop in bed.
It so sad and her husband Joel is an asshole to her.
But both of my client get so many more hours then she does. I believe she get 12 hours a week. and even if her husband is an asshole.
He has physical reason that he can't help her.
They would be better living in a small low income apartments.
So my friend Alice is worried about her hours being cut.

I got some fabric from Alice which she bought quite a bit from one of her friend. I'm using both of them in my up coming rag rug.
The monopoly pattern will be used in red section and the teddy bears in the brown section.
Now the only thing I need to is pick up the switching colors or that word I'm using.

When I came home I notice that quite bit more snow was gone. But still have snow covering the garden spot.

Yesterday Discount Pile

Before I went to my wine and chat. I stop in at A LITTLE COMFORT QUILTING and since I need more gold and brown for the up coming rag rug I'm planning to do.
So in there discontinue pile they had these two colors.
So I got a one yard of gold and one yard and half of brown.
It was 40% off.
Still need to pick up these fabrics for what I'm calling my basic switching colors...One yard of brown, two yards of gold, three yards of green, and four yards of red.

Mange to get a quick fast little walk in. Snow is going away. Actual it was some what soggy outside. Right after dinner it was 40 degrees. Which was pork chops, mac and cheese. and also can carrots.

Murphy set up a light for my craft room. It helps but I think a light shine down on my project would be better.
A trouble light.
Got a little more done on my simile hunter. Decided to do his eyes in blue. Not sure what other color I may use.

Start a page for my Great Grandparents who adopted my grandma Elsie. Actual my dad (Harold) mother was born to Edwin (Erwin) and Emma Trefry Miller. The mother gave birth to twin girls and she died shortly afterwards.
But a couple name Theodore and Sarah Keyport Miller adopted her.
What I understand that her twin sister was name Jessie and was adopted my people name of "Post"
The biological father was deaf.

I been doing a little bit of work on my husband side. His great grand dad "George" was born in Wisconsin and move to Nebraska.
Well he married one of the "Friess" girl and she died and marries his first wife sister (Sister in law)  and she was dead before 1910.
By the other census or any other paper trail. I can't find any other time he remarried and was single father.

I guess general people go from one generation with life as "Nothing new under the sun"

Turds A Glore

Went around the drive way and with my husband. Picked up Daisy "Turds" I know it doesn't sound like much fun, and it wasn't.
But yesterday the 12th which was my birthday. My friend Alice and I went out to the Kootenai inn and played the slots for while.
Neither of us did all that well. When heading into the Casino one doesn't take very much money. I played on ten and she played on twenty.
The KOOTENAI RIVER INN offers a pretty good birthday special, up to $14 off of your meal. So I had cod.

The little work area I set up in smaller bedroom I like real well. Been working on hunter smilie. I went in couple of the local thrift store and bought a few items.
One thing I got was what they call a "gloss acrylics" to be honest I don't see the different between them and my old stand byes.
Still need to figure out the lightening and a better chair.
I saw a stool at one local thrift store, under $6.00. But I need to get the measurement would like a 18 inch across for the seat part.

Had or real didn't have to lay out the fabric for my next rag rug. But I wanted to know how I had of each color.
Notice I was short on brown and gold. Mostly the brown.
Absolute I need no red or green fabric

 Went to the thrift store and found these cute little stationary items. They was a $2.50 but I got them for 35% off.
Plus bought up some yarns and been working on shawl. I believe that what I will call it.

Don't believe you can see it. But I picked up this brown yarn and not sure what it is made of. I like it. The feel of it.

Not much was put out. But our local pagan group met for our monthly bullshit section. I and 2 others came.
We met at HEART ROCK WINES.
I tried some type of lemon cider which was very good.
I under stand the IMBOLC celebration went well.
I hope I get this right when we have our next pagan celebration will be OSTARA and we're doing a tea party theme with it.
But our next general meeting will be last Wednesday of the month. Which will be 24th. And at six in evening at the visitor center, parking lot in Bonners Ferry.

Murphy and I watch the Republican debate. Reagan start with the ideal of trickle down. And what I see it wasn't work.
Tossing pennies at the poor don't help. I don't see any compassion coming from any of the Republican candidate.
The only one who possible has any would be JOHN KASICH



Yes. Once again I struggle with keeping on track with eating  and exercise.

Can I Believe it

Don't know why I won't say no when Carrie or Regis offers me desert. They offer me a piece of carrot cake. The cream cheese icing has ton of un=healthy calories.
Dinner only had two slice of potatoes. Mange to get a bit of walking in.
But I only wore a sweeter and should of had little more on. Stupid me.

Medicaid nurse was up today for Liz and Murphette. Possible for others. It hard to figure out how many hours someone would get.
Alice client gets 14 hours and is in a lot worst shape. Because she isn't mental ill, but is pretty much bed ridden. She doesn't qualify for as many hours.
Carrie gets 17.25 hours a week and she get around. Regis get 16.00 hours a week.
Liz been diagnose with a mental illness. But Murphette isn't, and Murphette uses a walker.
Go figure. In two weeks we should know how many hours these gals will be getting.
Still waiting for see how much they'll increase her hours by. The rate there going she will start doing cartwheels.

My goal is to get 10 more hours a week. That would put me up to a 30 hour week. It hard to tell where the hours will be put.
They have two different pay scales. When doing personal care I get $12.43 and hour. But doing house keeping I get $11.20 and hour.
So I'm not complete telling the entire story. The company I work for uses a 1065 K1. So I pay both end of social security, and what every other taxes I might have.
I figure I make about $10 and hour.
Two other agency pays there employees in $8 range and that gross.
Medicaid hasn't given a raise for the in-home care giver for three years.

LaWalla got her Low income apartment. Her rent is $54 a month. Not sure if that includes the utilities or not.

Move It In

Got the sewing table up out of our basement today. Now finding a chair to fit. I used one of our dinning chairs and it was little wide, would pull up to the table like I would like.
In front there is a nice size window.
But lighting and sitting is something I need to work on.
I should be able to find both things at a thrift store.

I love spoiling the up coming Grand daughter. So I when I go into the thrift place. I tend to pick up a few little outfits.
The other day I was at the "Hope House" it place where they help people with non food items. Mostly clothes.
Confession time...I though I'm not needy. I will pick up a few items out of the place. 
I've found a few cool piece of clothing and made my first rag rug for our dog "Daisy" from there. But I've gave more then I taken.
I don't think they care for me. Because I question all sort of things about religion.
Well if every body liked me or agreed with me. Chance would be I would be a push over. Then on the hand side. If every body world hated me. There is a good chance I was lacking "empathy".

Anther advantage of having table up in smaller room. I can also work on my ceramics. I had this hunter simile 

Not sure how many smiles there is. I know I have quite a few of them. There great things to make lamps for kids room.

But I notice this one had my son sawyer name on the bottom.

I'll finish it and send it down to them. They can do what ever they want with it. Would make a good yard decoration.

 So far today I haven't ate out of control. But there been no stress in my life. But I have the day off from work.

Life is a lot easier not having a job. But sooner or later the bills most be paid. If I didn't work we would be struggling.

Reality is what it is.

But now every other Saturday I get a pay check, Confession time...Unless I mess it up and have it kicked back. I know I was a space cadet and my time slip for Carrie is going to be kicked back. So this up coming pay check is going to be short.

I could ask them issue me an earlier check but they charge $25.00. I'll wait until until my next pay day. The check amount will be bigger.

I wouldn't have trouble if we was paid once a month,

If and there is a lot of "ifs" in life. When I'm 60 years old. I'm hoping I can have Carrie for 16 hours a week. And have my ceramic studio in the basement part time.

Which is 4 years down the road.

There so much to do to get a studio going. Like get rid of un-used stuff that I will never use.

Started to go though the items under the stairwell. I already got some encyclopedia world book. I've already taken part of the set in ages ago. To the Community Thrift store. Which is part of the 7th day Adventist and I'm guessing they have some type of missionary school that could use them.

I didn't go any place and walk on our road today. Just got above freezing.
