    I do love my new office complex!
    This was sitting out by the dumpster this morning.

    I think I found a good spot for it... right at the back door on the little "deck/steps". A good place to put some plants that need shade... or some knick-knacks... or both!

    *Note to self*...make a sneaky trip to office complex where Cheryl works to check out trash before she does. That find has such great possibilities, good job.

    Cheryl,
    I am coming with a semi, picking you up, and we are going dumpster diving! We can split 50-50 any finds, and you can tell me something creative and clever to do with my half of our booty.
    All that incredibly good stuff being put out for the trash--thank heavens you are around to rescue it and give it another life!

    Wow!

    Hay, I use to have a plant stand just like that. Good dumpster diving. I love finding treasures that someone else thought was trash. :-D

    A dumpster diving adventure... hmmm.... could be fun!
    :-D
    I'll be taking a look at the mark-down rack today to see if there's any shade-loving plants that need rescued. If I hurry up and get something put on it, my brother won't be likely to move it!
    I also picked up a small two-drawer chest.... nothing special, made of particle board. It's going in the garage/workshop/storage building. Can always use a couple more drawers for tools or junk.

    One of the pieces of wood needs nailed back in place. And it's a little "unsturdy"... probably a few screws are loose or missing. But is easy to fix and that's exactly what I plan on doing either this evening or tomorrow.

    EJ, are you telling us you are "potted"?
    Cheryl, I have a few screws loose too, and it's more than an evening's work to fix!
