This photo is of my white drill team boots and hat, the more “tortilla-size” hat that was harder to keep on than the smaller “bucket-hat”. In some Texas high schools there is an option to be on the drill team, a dance team that performs at football half-time in the fall and dance competitions in…
The featured image is of an old oak changing table that was in a church restroom. The pad was torn. The wood was beat up oak. The knobs were rose pink and from the 80s. It was sturdy, but a bit off putting to look at. In an effort to update the site and amenities,…
The Buy Nothing Give that didn’t happen. I posted this garment bag as a Give. It was up for several weeks with no takers. After holding onto it for 25 years you’d think I’d have more patience but I was on a kick getting rid of things (I reduced my clothing where I could fit…
