Bald Eagle Dropoff

Today we made the rounds. Casting off our unused/gently used goods to locales where they can be put to better use. I am a bit of a purger (which I must admit, goes hand in hand with my consumer habit). After I discovered the glory that is craigslist, The Honey expressed concern that one day he would return to a house empty of all material goods, and me with my $200 dollars in small bills. "I made some great sales today, honey!"

The Food Bank benefitted mildly from the recent kitchen remodel. I decided to give away most of the canned goods rather than try to find a place to store them. I also passed off the kipper snacks, purchased with good intent but with no intention to actually eat them. I hope some hungry family can make use of the excess boxed Jello, Parmesan Cheese, corn, etc. that were in my bag o' donations. It occurs to me that my contribution on its own would make a fairly terrifying meal.

The Goodwill drive thru drop off is a stretch of parking lot and a couple of dumpsters. The best part, aside from clearing my clutter, was the bald eagle that was swooping down from an evergreen in the nearby ravine and perching on the streetlight. I love living in a town where you can spot a bald eagle at the Goodwill drop off.

Last stop: the consignment store, and the circle was complete. I used my $23 credit to buy some stuff for the boys. The Subaru hatchback is practically vacant again, and I feel good.
