That is the first I have heard it put that way. Sometimes we optimists do have difficulty is seeing what is really happening. It's ok. I have been called Pollyanna as an insult before but I am proud to claim that moniker.<br />Here's hoping for a GREAT return on your yard sale and health enough for you to enjoy the shoppers - - - and the shoppers to be friendly and civil and not out to see how little money they can give you. We will all be looking forward to the report on it.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-63042756642455021422014-06-06T07:19:50.036-05:002014-06-06T07:19:50.036-05:00I can't hear Aldo Leopold's name without t...I can't hear Aldo Leopold's name without thinking how much I appreciate you introducing us.
