I've seen estate sales held to empty the contents of a house after someone moves out, not just dies. A neighbor up the street moved into an assisted living center and her household contents were sold for what probably added up to a nice nest egg for her.

The new shredder is assembled, I trimmed around the back yard and re-filled the trimmer for next time, and came in to get a drink of water and take a quick look at the 'cat. I'm going to mow and then drag a bunch of shrub trimmings from the front into the back and go over them with the mower and rake them onto the compost pile. It's a beautiful afternoon and I'm sure the vitamin D production has gone up tremendously.

This is a fasting day, so a small dinner is my main meal. I grilled some chicken yesterday and I'll make a Kung Pao chicken stir fry. The exercise and alternate fasting days are what contribute to the weight loss (I have about 20 pounds left). I'd like to be at my target by my birthday so I can do a Gloria Steinem routine and say "this is what 60 looks like" and feel really good about it!
