One Person's Trash ...

I was walking down our country road a while back, when I noticed a pile of garbage someone had thrown out of their car. Great piles of it. I was angry. I absolutely hate litter! There is no excuse for it.

Then I started looking closer at what these people had dropped off. A huge box of toys, some unused! School supplies, clothing, tools, car parts and more.

Me being the scavenger that I am, ran home to get the wheelbarrow. Toys for my nieces and nephews! Tools for my dad! Trendy jeans for my sister's beautiful daughters! The picture above is just a fraction of what I found that day. Most has already been given away.

I still abhor litter. There is no excuse for it! But if I must pick up someone elses garbage, at least this time it was worth it!!!

1916 Mothers Magazine, An Explanation

I had gone to my storage unit several years ago to retrieve my fake Christmas tree. I found a few items in my unit that needed to be thrown away, so I brought them to the very large garbage can supplied.

On the ground next to the can were several boxes - all full of books and papers. Books! I pulled the car forward and loaded up. The books were in pristine condition, and the local book store bought them outright.

Amidst the papers (mostly clippings of long-gone movie stars from old movie magazines) was this delightful magazine - The Mothers Magazine - cover ripped off and the staples rusted through. I have carefully scanned the best pages to post as I can.
