Crap Swap 2023

It was another successful Crap Swap weekend! Some dozen or so households came together on our lawn Saturday to give away their most precious crap in what has essentially become an "everything is free" garage sale for the neighborhood, with donations accepted for our block party fund. On that end we collected almost $300 from stuff we didn't want anyway.

The day started like this:





Leftovers went to the curb all day Sunday and Monday. By Monday evening this is all that was left:


The day was hot and my legs were sore, but I'm ready to do it all again next year!

Anniversaries!

It’s a month of special dates.

Tomorrow Paul and I celebrate our 20th anniversary. Twenty years! This is crazy to me, because I remember my own parents’ 20th anniversary, when I was 16 years old. Surely I can’t be anywhere near the age that they were then!

In addition, last week marked 10 years living in this house, in this neighborhood. Half our marriage, and almost a quarter of my life. We moved here before Edith’s first birthday, and it was the house Atticus came home from the hospital to. 

It’s been a good marriage, it’s been a good house, with many more years yet to come.
