Giving

I am not sure if "de-cluttering" is automatically linked to "giving," but today it was.  Yesterday I tackled the kitchen cabinets and part of the basement.  I sorted out duplicates and other miscellaneous "stuff."  I had intended to deliver to two locations.

When the rain started this afternoon I was ready.  I loaded my goods and went to town.  The first location took everything!  Coffee mugs, dishes, suitcases, a crepe pan (who has time to make them any more), and other finds.  After I brought in my last box and before I could get a receipt, someone picked up one of my offerings and made a purchase - a good deal for both of us, and the senior center.

The best part of the venture - when I segregated suitcases to be taken, I went through all the pockets.  I netted $43 and miscellaneous change!
