Reflections of My Life

Right! Sonny was so mad. He cares more about dogs than anything.

I’d be mad also. I probably would have waited until the guy came out. We bring water for our dogs when we take them in the car for all seasons. We find they pant a lot more while they are in the car so need more water.

The apartments can have air conditioning if you have it put in. Window units. Which most have. It is the halls and public rooms that do not have any. Discourages social time for some people. Not me, I stay in my apartment most of the time unless I have something I have to do.

Thank you, Marcie. I am getting used to her not being across the hall. We used to talk almost daily.
 
I did my laundry today. It was quiet and I did not see one person while down there. I colored while waiting for my machines. Had 3 loads so took awhile. It probably was good to give Rabbit a break from me. :)

I don't know if it is funny or not, but it is weird (instead of funny) that us older people are trying to get rid of our stuff (or clutter). And all those young homeless people are trying to collect stuff. Honestly, some of it is just trash they get out of the dumpsters. Maybe we should just give it to them. It is just that I am one of those strange women who really loves her stuff. I don't really want to part with it. But I have no one to give it to after I die. I am just hoping I live long enough to figure out what to do with it.

I know, I know.....what you are going to say.........it is just things. Just like the homeless people who love their things too. I think in the end we are all the same. But to be honest, I use most of my things.

The things that mean the most to me have absolutely no value to anyone other than me.

I hope that the few useful things that I have can be given to anyone that needs and appreciates them but I’m finding that most people have the basics and prefer new to hand me downs.

Times have changed since I was starting out, I accepted hand me downs and many items off the curb. 😉🤭😂

I am one of those people who saves things but uses them. I don't think I care for modern designs so much. I like that "homey" look and feel. I don't think my things are very valuable to others either. Everything has sentimental value to me.

I think there are those who prefer things and those who prefer experiences, and generally invest their money in one over the other. I prefer things.

Well, I never thought about that so I must prefer things because I prefer being home. I have had experiences but I would rather just be at home. Every vacation I have ever gone on I always could not wait until the day I could leave to go home. I know, I am strange. :)

Wow. This is exactly what I have been thinking about lately. I picture what would happen to my stuff when I am gone. I, like you, hope "I live long enough to figure out what to do with it." I have tried in the past few years to donate 2-3x annually to GreenDrop, who come and take several bags of clothing, shoes, linen, books, etc. for the Purple Hearts Veterans. However, there is hardly a dent in the stuff I have.
