My dear husband:
Twice now this summer….
someone has parked in our driveway, walked up and asked if we we’re having a garage sale!
Um, ya THINK it’s time to clean it out?
*********************************************************
My daughter called from college. 1st day:
“Oh my God! My favorite class is Composition!”
“Really? Why?”
“The teacher doesn’t believe in desks so we all sit in lounge chairs!”
Day 2:
“Oh my God! My favorite class is Philosophy!” (I suggested that one btw)
“cool…why?”
“The teacher is so cool! He said ‘bastard’ and used the word ‘dick’ in the first class!….It’s so not like High School!….I’m so gonna looove this class!”
*footnote: I wonder how much money I could of saved by just giving her a recliner and swearing at her for a few hours a day.

lol….!!! and imagine the fun you’d have had yourself: you could have invited a different friend over each day for coffee and visits and general socializing, and upon entry all they’re required to do is speak to her for a few minutes, entertain her with some swearing, and give her a challenge, then leave….after all, university is not much more than that

Hey! Your garage looks great compared to mine. My husband builds RC airplanes and he has them hanging from the ceiling of the garage on top if all our junk. You can’t walk through without smacking your head. And at night if you don’t turn the light on or the automatic one turns off it’s spooky. Like a airplain graveyard in Barbies miniture nightmare.
