Especially the story about the gentleman who helped you...just beautiful. I'm a writer too...it is always a joy to read words so beautifully arranged.

I go to Goodwill a few times each year, but it's always to get rid of stuff. Maybe I should go there to watch people sometime. I won't be buying anything though (unless it's extraordinary!).<br /><br />I've been trying to get rid of stuff as much as I can. In fact I've started a Tuesday series on my blog that I call <i>Tossing It Out Tuesdays</i>, where I talk about what I'm getting rid of.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-29214062542973905532010-09-07T14:25:16.119-07:002010-09-07T14:25:16.119-07:00That was such a great post...that part about the m...That was such a great post...that part about the man that lost his son almost made me cry!

It's a great feeling. I'm sad to say, I accidently left behind a lamp I bought. I didn't realize it until last weekend, but I'm sure there will be more treasures to be found.Lyndee @ A Recovering Craft Hoarderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480957975188949986noreply@blogger.com
