If you hadn’t told him he’d never miss it

It’s always a competition with these two.

This is like my husband and I. In general he doesn’t really clean much, but when he does, it’s like a bulldozer. He just dumps a bunch of stuff to go into the trash. Then there’s me, who doesn’t like filling up the landfills, so I want to find a place for it all whether it is donated or recycled or maybe even sold. I feel like people are creative and want things that we may not. Even teachers will use little toys and stickers in their “treasure boxes” to reward their students. The landfill is my last resort.

Hello Cathy friends! Happy Wednesday! I’m glad some are enjoying the new Cathy Commiserations with me! I think they’re cute and I like the way she colors them — very cheery! I hope she keeps it up for a while. Have a great day, all!

My wife and are are the opposite. She bulldozes and I carefully check each one for residual memories.

Incredible waves on the lake today. Strong enough to lift a 3’ section of planking from my neighbour’s dock. Fortunately the section was still sitting on top of the dock. I grabbed a gaff hook to try and drag the section without having to enter the extreme splash zone along the retaining wall. Managed that ok but when I tried timing the waves to grab the section I got caught by at least two larger waves. I was soaked so calmly picked up the section and stored it safely on dry land. Came home and changed. The water is still not up to summer temperatures.

Have a great, dry, day today.

These two are quite the pair, aren’t they? Seems like if one of them went away for some reason, the other would fall over …

HI, MOM. Hello, Clan.

If my husband dumps his stuff, it stays dumped. Not my job to second guess.
