Free!

All my life I have hung on to things because I felt they were "too good" to throw away or even give to Goodwill. I wanted to know that they were going to someone who could really use them. Now I have a means of finding that someone. I had heard about Freecycle a few years ago, but because I am a procrastinator, didn't get around to trying it out until now. It's amazing. Last night someone came over, loaded up and hauled away 9 concrete patio blocks that had been laying behind our house since we moved in. And he was delighted! If we had to load them up and haul them away, we would not have been delighted. I don't even know where we would have taken them. Which is why they were behind our house for two years. What's more, I had six people offer to take them off my hands. Unbelievable. I must go look for something else to give away...
