And the Week Begins
Nothing spectacular going on today. I do have a tuna oven meal ready for supper . . . straight from Mom’s church cookbook. It is a tuna dish with diced celery and onions, chicken and rice soup, cream of mushroom soup and . . . two heaping cups of chow mien noodles. Nothing ventured . . . nothing gained. I always use Albacore tuna that is packed in water. My best customer said it sure smelled good even before hitting the oven.
I made a trip to our Fleet store. I purchased what I hope is a good air freshener for our attic. We had left the window open for several weeks as well as the attic steps covering. No . . . it had not smelled any different than any other attic. Roof vents just don’t cut it. Time will tell. Grant it, any cloth items coming down for use, get a good airing out on the clothes line or are inline for a laundering. In my growing up days the first choice would have been mothballs, my purchase today has a more herbal scent supposedly to last for 60 days.
Last night we watched the Antique Road Show on PBS. It had clips from the early 2000s with the worth of the items in the present day. Dennis agreed . . . sad that most things we would still deem viable where greatly reduced in value. More testament that we have become a throw away society.
Though we live minimally by choice, what we have we take care of as it may not be able to be replaced due to our resources or, more importantly, it is about the emotional attachment. I admit, I hold quite a bit near and dear. I am willing to share with Kevin and Carrie if I hear that they may have an eye on something from my holdings. Why not!
