Molasses is still sliding off an entire room full of plant leaves at my house but I can’t yet tell if the bugs are dead. (see June 26 blog)
Today I hope to read and review children’s books on Amazon, rewrite my own, rip apart three skirts I bought from Goodwill so as to remake them, and color with crayola crayons.
A thought on Goodwill: Last year a twelve year old friend asked what I was going to shop for at Goodwill that day. I realized that my mental list is generally four to ten long. It’s full of a few items of my own and also friends’ requests (things like; “If you see a new bunt pan would you pick it up for me?” ) I don’t SHOP for those things. I shop for surprises! I never know what I’ll see there. Upon reflection, I’d say Goodwill is a community bonding agent. When a friend and I discusses where to buy a hard to find dark chocolate powder, that I’d finally located, they go get it on their own because the nature of that kind of shopping is that you can count on the chocolate being there again. Perhaps we should shop for each other more, lets say a friend needs to laugh more in his life and asks me to watch out for funnies and pick them up for him.
I fell sorry for those with too much money because if they need a new bunt pan they just go out and get it. There are no WAITINGS and stumbling into better solutions, no ANTICIPATIONS and no SURPRISES while LOOKING!   nancymauerman.com
