Taking the new tractor for a spin
I took the keys with a jingle and said, “And they never saw her again.” Our tractor guy, Darrell, said, “I think I fell in love with you just a little bit.” I’m a woman of simple pleasures. Boulders. Concrete. Wine. And now . . . tractors.
The Cull Continues
My mother was a hoarder. Her father was a hoarder. If they had one of something, it was a safe bet they had FIVE of something. After my mother passed, my dad surprised me by seeming to discover her propensity for collecting things for the first time in fifty-one years of marriage. I guess the secret to a successful relationship is not to look in the closets. She had over eighty pairs of shoes . . . IN THEIR BOXES. When he mentioned her twenty-five open bottles of shampoo with the comment, “She didn’t have that much hair!” I lost it. We pushed past the sorrow of her loss and…

I bought this at Windsor Discount Liquor when I was in town last week for an appointment.

You know that feeling that something is crawling on you? Yeah, that. But occasionally today, something WAS!
Getting Rid of MORE!
The great cull continues. In the spirit of only buying something that I can make room for by getting rid of it’s equivalent, I moved on to credit cards. Today’s episode of shit I’m eliminating is brought to you by stores I no longer shop regularly. In the past, Kohl’s has been a great, “If I can’t find it anywhere, I bet Kohl’s has it” store. To be honest, I never was a huge Kohl’s cash fan. Earning the Kohl’s cash meant I already bought a ton of stuff. I didn’t need MORE in the next two weeks. And without offspring to outfit with school clothes, it’s not on my…
