The objective is to create permanent places for the camping stuff so it has a place to go right when you get home, it doesn't sit around waiting for a storage place to reveal itself. Right now my camping stuff is in at least four places. It used to be worse, but it can certainly be better.

There are at last count three garage sales within a block of the house today. I should pull out stuff and take it over to the one two doors up. I did buy a new Panama hat for 50 cents yesterday. I have one already, but this is a spare for guests who might tour the garden with me on a hot day. They had a whole stack of them, many still with the $25 price tag; the folks with this sale own retail clothing stores. I was good and didn't get more than one. I suspect my daughter will cart this off and I won't keep it long.
