I cleaned off the dining room table, then pulled a box of odd little speciality cookbooks out from under a stack of clothes and left it on the table to sort tomorrow. These were books my mom collected, a lot of them appear to have been ordered from box tops or came inside the laundry detergent box (not really, but you know the era of free stuff that came with special packaging). I haven't heard a peep from mg about the Women's War Memorial stuff, or the old uniforms, but I saw some uniforms on eBay. Time to box these up, methinks.

I drove over to the office today (I telecommute most of the time now) and took in items I'd been meaning to take back because I don't need them here but didn't want to throw them out. And I picked up some stuff I do need here, so the trip is kind of a wash.

Linn, I hate to tell you how many real and faux critters are in this house and yard. There is a realistic-looking rubber big lizard, looks like a skink, in the window near where the cats lie (here behind the fat calico, for example) and lots of fake bugs. Fossils, feathers, interesting rocks and minerals, skulls, beaver-chewed sticks, you name it, they're around here.

I'm going to have to take some time off this summer, I finally have "use or lose" time, but I'll wait until next week and take Friday. My neighbor was going to do his garage sale this week but it had to be postponed one week. Darn! It's going to be hot out there!
