[Why Syzygy]

I posted this on the prayer list. But I did some freecycling this weekend.
Getting rid of stuff he left behind so I can be a free bird again.

Freecycle is the greatest. I got rid of some lamps, that new owners love. A couple of Tarot books. Some games. A prized and cherished button collection.

When you do this you meet the most amazing people. Because we all love Mother Earth and don't want to see her destroyed or dumped on.

One woman brought me a push lawn mower. No gas, no electricity, just good old fashioned self propelled. It doesn't really work on the weeds. But I am proud to have it.

I consider it a gift. I feel loved.

Your pant story is cute! I love recycle shops, but haven't found an affordable one in my new location yet.
I got the most amazing dress for $12.00 at my former shop. I still have a spiffy one I've never worn that I got for $8.00. Dayum I wish someone would take me dancing. I've got the dress.

I'm going to wear the $12.00 one at my son's wedding in November. It is so awesome. I'm not a clothes horse. I found JC Penney's has the only jeans I can wear. And they never wear out. Serious.

Shoes are another story. There was a great shoe store where I used to live and I got a great pair of black heels. I love to wear them, but rarely get the chance, since I don't dress up all that often. I have a pair of sandles which have turned into river shoes since I moved here. My mother liked them so much, she went and got a pair too. That was at Foley's. I kicked myself after moving here for giving away a perfect pair of river sandals. You can't walk on the rocks barefoot. So now I really do need to find a newer pair of sandals. I hate shopping.

As long as we are talking clothes stuff .. I have a great handbag collection. I found a Docky at Kohl's a few years ago. Leather. My preference. And I have stuck with it. I used to change handbags by the season. I have another small one I take for nights out. But I think my handbag collection is worth a fortune. I just don't want them taking up all this space any more. Some of them I bought at garage sales for about $1.00. They are cute. One I splurged on and bought at MGM, Las Vegas. I've never used it. I have another one made of pearls. Someone gave me that. What was I thinking? I just love to collect handbags. The time has come for me to give them back to Universe (ALL). It's just going to take me a bit longer. I used to think of opening a small shop in a trader's mall and calling it bag lady .. or something. I have like the cutest bags. There are some consignment shops here, so if I want to put things on consignment .. the last time I did that, it seems that all my stuff got "shoplifted". How convient.

I love to trade clothes with my sister. She has a huge budget and good taste. So when she cleaned out her closet I would go over and take this or that.

So glad the Universe (ALL) gave you some neat pants. But you put me on a clothes rant. Think I'm done.
