A Whirlwind 24 Hours
Yesterday in the mid afternoon, I posted a giveaway on the marketplace hosted by Facebook. The giveaway was two totes, one of crochet thread and the other of yarn for crocheting. I felt comfortable in doing so as neither of my children crochet nor do their spouses. The thread was actually Esther Schafer’s, The kid’s grandmother. She made each of her children a crocheted bedspread from the thread. Kevin and Carrie each have one of her spreads. They are not very utilitarian but definitely keepsakes. I made sure each one was laundered appropriately before they were handed off.
To make a long story short, the totes were gone by five yesterday afternoon. My arthritic body was thankful and they went to a gal that I have known here in St. James for years.
Today, I got busy. The plastic green turtle that Megan and Nicholas played with is gone. Gone via the marketplace site as well. Three cement garden art pieces are gone from the potting shed as well. The giveaway items went to appreciative individuals. None of it owed me a penny. I had years of enjoyment of them. Who knew I could clean out the potting shed so easily!
It has kept me busy being on Facebook to answer questions and giving our address. I feel good about lightening our load. As I had said yesterday, no emotions were attached. I have several other items listed and time will tell.
Have a great evening as the weather is warm but not frightening. That is still coming for the weekend . . . but we are not going to dwell on that today.
