Moving Eddie!

This morning, Michele and I went over to Dover to help clean out a relative's house. As it turned out, Eddie, who is 82 and in the hospital was definitely in need of a maid. The place was a wreck and our job was to move out the remaining items. Things like dressers and tables, a bureau or two and some odds and ends. That was the easy part, because this guy was a real pack rat and had lived in the house with his father for the last 65 years. After lots of trash bag filling the house reasonably clean, but, because of its age and condition, it's slated to be demolished and in its place there will be 3 new houses. It's sad really, to see it torn down. We did take a few things with us, trinkets really, things that no one really wanted and were going to be thrown away. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Our money total for the day was 16 cents plus 65 bottles and cans. Michele picked up 2 pennies during her morning walk with Lexi. Then after to going to Ted's fried seafood for some clams with Lee and Roger, Michele, Lexi and I went for a walk. We found 10 cents in the rite aid parking lot, 2 cents at the car wash, and 2 cents and the 7-11. While we haven't had a real big total day in the last few, but we have been consistent. All the while, the money keeps coming.
