I love the "Pickers" shows where they go around the country looking for places to "pick" and invariably - when they find a place - the folks who own - don't throw away ANYTHING... they're hoarders!
That net is a good way to keep things from flying. Once there were some pretty Easter baskets in the street garbage in San Antonio when I was walking my dog. I was interested in taking a basket for decoration but the neighbors were watching me like a hawk. I felt like a thief so I walked on without a basket for decoration.
We do Church pickups for our thrift shop. A good percent of them are children cleaning out their parents homes...and most do end up with a "pile" that has to be hauled off... even a lot of stuff that goes to the thrift shop were treasured mementos of the parents that had no similar connection to the kids so they get sold.

ReplyDeleteOne load at a time. You got this.
ReplyDeleteYou motivate me John. My girls are so worried that they will have to have a 40 yard container brought in when I'm gone.
