Something You Don’t See Everyday

Wednesday morning we were at the Kamin Science Center on the North Shore. Shanti saw the grasshoppers in the terrarium and said “he’s getting a piggy back ride.”

Eastern Lubber Grasshoppers are toxic to predators

Age 18+? Not a problem

One of the boxes of LEGOs Charlie received for his 11th birthday on Thursday was this project-Mona Lisa. The appropriate age printed on the box of the 1,503 pieces was age 18+!

His dad is going to get a wall anchor and hang it up tomorrow.

It took four hours to complete the wall art

Redundant

I was a passenger, on our way to downtown Columbus, Ohio. James was driving.

Another double discard!

Must be couch season.

A Double Couch Discard Day

I know these two couches had some adventures to tell. Shanti and I were headed to the Groceria in Bloomfield neighborhood to pick up a couple of meatball subs/hoagies/sandwiches for some friends. Oh my. I pulled over to the curb. Put the flashers on

We both got out of the car. She was as excited as I was to see TWO abandoned couches in front of the apartment building.

You do know I don’t go looking for these things, right? But there they were

Wait up for me. I’m coming as fast as I can !

Happy 11th Birthday Charlie

Happy Birthday Charlie. I’m looking forward to being with you on your special day! June 25th Love FF

Look What James Found on Indianola Ave

My Son-in-Law is the guest blogger today.

It was exciting to receive his text with this photo.

Every abandoned couch and chair has a story to tell. My first thought this was it was at the University. Not!

Thanks for seeing this discard and thinking of me, James.
