Garbage In,Garbage Out !

Started throwing out some ' garbage' in preparation to our moving. We are going from a detached home to a smaller townhouse . Squeezing all our present furnitures would be a decorating challenge. Some furnitures had been allocated to our kids' apartments . Both are in different universities in the city so they don't live with us anymore except for the occasonal visits . Three to five years from now , we plan to downsize further to a condo unit . Funny , how it comes to full circle the size of one's abode . I just think , it's less headache for us if we don't have to worry about mowing grass, plowing snow and doing maintenance .

Once we get to the new house , we will start the planting of tress and shrubs . That's another ' garbage ' producing activity . I remembered that the last time we did some planting . We accumulated soils and stuff from all the diggings . It's a pain in the neck to dispose of bagful of dirts. Me and the commander in chief sneaked out in the night looking for vacant lots to dispose these bags. Sometimes near midnight to insure the folks were asleep. When we find a vacant lot , normally where new houses are being built , we dumped the junk near the construction company's garbage bin . It's a cloak and dagger operation . After disposing the junk, we fill ourselves with junk food from a nearby Mc Donalds. So it's really a case of garbage out , garbage in !

I'm with Yellowdog...well, except for my Penguin and CD collection.

Good luck on your move and your midnight operations.

As nasty as it is sometimes, there is just something about getting McDonald's every now and then - especially late at night at the end of a successful covert operation.

Sounds like fun, did you wear masks?!

I have downsized over the years. I like not having a yard to take care of.
I hate moving. You are right, throwing away so much stuff when you move. It is a good way to lighten the load that is for sure.

I wish I could witness your covert actions.
;)
