I’ve got to get caught up here, and most of these things are rather unremarkable, so I’ll dump several days together:<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"\/
Day 197 – Child's deck chair that Ida sat on and broke through (Throw).\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n

Day 198 – Glass frame (Give) – I plan to fill the frame with an enlarged photo to give to a friend. Day 199 – Regifting of an End-of-Year Teacher Gift (This was written as school ended last week.) I don’t want to make too much out of this or even post a picture because who knows who might be reading this.\u00a0 But Melissa always makes it a point to get some sort of gift for the kids’ teachers at the end of the school year and, as a kindergarten teacher, she also tends to be on the receiving end of similar gifts.\u00a0 So one came in today and it’s going out tomorrow.\u00a0 It was a nice gift and extremely thoughtful – it’s just that we don’t NEED it. By the way, we high school teachers get kind of jealous of the kindergarten teachers around Christmas and the end of the school year.\u00a0 We don’t tend to get too many presents from students.\u00a0 But\u00a0on the last day of school\u00a0I received a Krispy Kreme Donut and – even better – a thank you letter.\u00a0 It was one of those letters that makes your entire year.\u00a0 I can’t remember ever receiving a more eloquent and moving thank you note.\u00a0 (I was also glad to see that the word choice was top-notch and everything was spelled correctly!)<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"\/
Day 200 – Photo Frame (Throw).\u00a0 This picture was taken early in our time in Pensacola just after we got married.\u00a0 I didn't want to throw it away, but something had gotten spilled on it and the picture was simply ruined.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n

Day 201 – Plastic Pitcher I Dropped (Throw).\u00a0 It didn’t bounce.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"\/
Day 202 – Two Unframed Prints (Sell).\u00a0 Melissa must have bought these some time ago for some reason, but they never got used.\u00a0 They can go into our moving sale.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n

Day 203 – Simpsons Calendar from 2000 (!) (Throw) Day 204 – Yet More Scotland Postcards (Give)<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"\/
Day 205 – Musical Frame (Sell).\u00a0 I got this from some good friends, Ron and Cathy, years ago.\u00a0 Would like to keep it, but can't.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Day 206 – Another Horseshoe.\u00a0 I'll put it in the moving sale, but I can't imagine anyone wants it.\u00a0 But it's good luck, you know.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
