Sandy's Scribbles, Poetry and Prose

"Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.” Harvey MacKay We need to make good use of our time. Time is precious. Use it wisely....

Our Goodwill store has moved into a much bigger building. It used to be a furniture store. Not only is the building bigger and cleaner, but the items seem to be nicer and lower priced.

One of the projects was the cute idea that I found on someones blog site. I can't remember which one it was, but I liked the idea. If it is from your site and you are reading this, I apologiz
