   I have learned to make a check-off list for things to pack. Then when I pack to go back home, I just need to check them all off again.

   Those missing ones are there now. No need to go elsewhere.

   I never liked having those “early birds” at my garage sales. You have to put it in your ad, but that doesn’t keep them all away. GRRR!

   I used to do garage sales every year for a little extra cash, but the last one I did was 10 years ago. I am 82 and too old to do them anymore and just take all the things I would have put out for sale to a local St. Vincent DePaul. Don’t need the money anymore.

   It’s what I grew up with, but certainly do not want one now.

   I took piano lessons for 8 years too and I got to be pretty good. My teacher thought so too and had me take a few of her beginning students. It was fun and I earned a little money for it, but it was not my passion. Though I have a nice piano, I never play it anymore. I would rather listen to music on my stereo.

   In my yard, it is the rabbits that bite off the tulip buds. It would not make me so angry at them if they actually ate them, but they only bite them off and then leave them on the ground.

   When I told my DIL what that meant, she was shocked.

   Being German, I know what that word means, but your explanation of it made me laugh. Thank you.

    When we first started getting the local paper, it was 45 cents a week. The price slowly went up, but would get a good discount for getting it “for one year” but paying monthly. The price went up faster per month so I subscribed to the digital version only. They cut out several of the things that I liked about the paper and raised the price to $28 per month just for the digital version. That’s when I canceled my subscription. I can get the few things I want from the local paper by going to the library. They keep the local paper for about three weeks and I can catch up with the very few items that I still like without the subscription. I live close to the library, and on nice days, I can walk there. I think that the newspaper is slowly making it obsolete. Not sure what I will do then – maybe subscribe to some other paper online.
