Day 59 - Electric Frying Pan

Today I am ridding my kitchen of this old Sunbeam electric frying pan that once belonged to my grandmother. It was aging when I got it nearly nineteen years ago. Does that tell you how old this thing is? 

Circa 1970-something?

The sentimentality in me doesn't want to let go of it, but good gravy! I think it's time. 

Day 58 - Vinyl Albums

I haven't listened to vinyl albums in years. There is no reason to keep any of them, especially those that are not my own.

Neil Young, Itzhak Perlman, and U2

These albums were returned to their original owner.

Day 57 - Jeans

This pair of jeans has done me well. They fit right and lasted. The time has come to part with them, however. Made of 98% cotton and 2% spandex, the stretchiness of the fabric has become pucker-y after many washings and wearings.

Even though it crosses my mind that maybe they should visit the garbage bin, I'm tossing them into the donation box. Someone might be able to use them for something.

Day 56 - Sweat Shirt

Have you ever had one of those BIG sweat shirts that you sort of cuddle up in on cold days, or on days when you're not feeling well? It's almost like wearing a blanket. Well, I have a few of those and I decided I really only need one. 

I am letting go of this red one. Bye, Mr. Cuddly-Sweat-Shirt!

Day 55 - Mugs

Today I'm giving away a set of four coffee mugs. I don't like them, so I never use them.

These cups will join the other items headed for "Salvation". 

Day 54 - Pillow Cases

Good evening, everyone! I'm posting this a little late. I'm tired and will soon be hitting the pillows. This, by the way, brings me to the subject of what I will be getting rid of on this lovely, chilly night. Pillow cases! Two pairs. 

They are rarely used and the matching sheets are long gone, so it's time to let go of the pillow cases. Adios and good night! Don't let the bed bugs bite.

Day 53 - Tap Shoes

My son was going to learn tap dance in college, but ended up not doing it. Here are the unworn shoes ready to be donated.

Tap, tap, tappin' away
