I Love Trash

 

 

My husband Steven is quite amazing

in so many ways but one of my
favorite things about him is how
he can turn trash into treasures

Several years ago we took out all

the carpet in our upstairs and have
been enjoying the plywood floor

Okay maybe enjoying is not a good word,

but plywood has been much better that
old, smelly carpet, that's for sure

We planned to put laminate flooring down eventually

 

No hurry

 

One day when we were dumping a

pick-up load of trash at the landfill,
a guy pulled up next to us with a
pick-up load of laminate flooring

Steven asked him if we could have it

and he said sure so we loaded
it all into our pick-up

We ended up bringing home a bigger

load from the landfill than we
took to the landfill

And now finally years later we

have started putting our new floor
down and it looks really beautiful

Another treasure that my incredible husband

saved from the garbage is the laptop that
I am writing on this very minute

Someone had thrown it in the recycle bin because

it didn't work but Amazing Steven spent
hours fixing it and now it is my laptop
that I love so much

In fact I love it so much that I was very rarely

ever getting on the desktop anymore
so that will be going to a new home

I thought I needed the desktop to

paint my animal paintings on but the
laptop does just fine for that and I
don't even have to use a mouse

See?

 

 

Not only is my wonderful husband a miracle worker

for finding treasures in the trash but he also finds
incredible deals on Craig's list

Like our new electric fireplace

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Come on over

sit in front of the fireplace
and have a cup of vegan eggnog

Happy Holidays to You!

I Love You
