My husband Barry is a man of many talents...he can fix anything...but...the one flaw is he is a huge pack rat...it is impossible to get rid of stuff...over 20 years ago we had a big flood in the basement...he called me frantically...he had every Western Horseman saved since 1964...I am not joking!!! So I was running heavy boxes of water up the steps as fast as my sort legs could go...and he was so upset as all this good information was being ruined by water...outwardly, I was saying I know this is hard for you...he said do you think much of this can be saved...I sad no...water ruins things...inside I was jumping up and down doing cart wheels as we were getting rid of junk...that is the only way it seems to work at our house!!!
Saying all that...the saga continues...
I had lived away this winter due to a job, long hours, treacherous winter weather...I moved all my "stuff" home over Memorial weekend...it has been sitting in the garage driving me and him nuts...I said I don't want to just throw these things away...so he decided one morning to take the brown couch to his place of employment Cenex...a convenience store/repair shop/Farmer fuel delivery/propane delivery...he sets it out front with a sign $20...lots of people stop sit on it and move on...finally a guy wants it has no way to get and my husbands boss delivers it to get it out of there...he now thinks of bringing other things to set out front...I crack up laughing will it become a flea market too...will he wheel a clothing rack out each day with garments for anywhere form 10 cents to a $1...the man cracks me up!!! So in all we sold a couch for $20, TV stand and dresser for $30...the same person bought it all...he kept the money...I wasn't sad we got rid of some more junk that became an others treasures!!
