Because...Perché No?

So that idea lasted one day.  If you haven't been keeping up, I'm talking about the yard sale idea from yesterday.

After getting all the big stuff out of our shed - two truck seats that Ed sold on Ebay, a KingDome unit, A truck tire, extra parts for our trailer, snow chains we don't need, etc. - we had a surprisingly small amount of stuff.  I'd actually be embarrassed to ask people to make the 3-4 turns it would take for them to get to our house from the main road.  Can you imagine....people pulling up expecting good yard sale stuff and then seeing old flip-flops and a few cloudy Tupperware containers?  So I boxed it all up and we're taking it to Goodwill.

And because I don't have any exciting yard sale stories to share with you, I'm going to hit you with a few new Flipboard finds:

Ed has wanted to go to Times Square for New Year's Eve for years.  I've made it 46 years without going and I'm not going to start now.  Some good reasons why.


Banff has been on my list for a long time.  If only I knew how to ski.

Andrew kinda gets around.  I've been to Central Montana, so I can nix that one, but I'm adding Scotland to the list.  Ed has a family clan tartan, or kilt, or crest or something that goes back to the country.  

Fine.  I didn't want to go there anyway.

Do you drink pop, soda, or coke?  And while you're drinking it, do you wear sneakers?  


Oh, the miserable memories.  I'm so glad we didn't do the UPS run this year.  And I'm so glad I'm not one of these yard dogs.  Mostly because I can't back into a hole that fast.

I'm going to retire in the glow of 60-watts.  The future is in light bulbs - I should probably get out and buy a few cases now that the shed has been emptied.

And, one last thing...

Because we all know the Italians know how to do everything better.
