Hold everything, I need to do an ornament

i have been e ow-deep in stuff

more stuff than you imagine...the kind of stuff american pickers like to dig through

do you like having garage/rummage/yard sales

a very dear lady

pink stuff

mr. b.'s pink stuff

no-sugar-added cherry pie filling

pineapple

whipped topping

condensed milk

happy thanksgiving

it's been such a busy week here

even re-arranging anything

stuff and more stuff

i could probably write a dr. suess rhyme it...if i had the energy

mr. b. is finally giving up his one-time-leather-shop-turned-storage-space in downtown sikeston

huge space; a building from the turn of the century

way past time to sort through all the stuff and move on

guy stuff

the kind i have no problem tossing

done by mr. b. and the boys

so

we're opening the doors friday

friday

even attended a garage sale

i don't think i'd even heard of them

my family had never gotten rid of anything

i still have...)

but my mother-in-law at the time

loved them

she called them rummage sales

i think she mainly liked all her daughters-in-law getting together

visiting

i was always amazed at what people

haggling that went

grandma dorothy loved getting right in the middle of it

i

dorothy ziegenhorn pratt

in the meantime

thing mr. b. likes to cook

i'm sharing my favorite thing that he makes

my grandma launius used to make it

i think it actually has a pretty name

something divine-sounding

but "pink stuff" it has always been

i could eat the batch

it is that
