    November Purge

    Jar of sauerkraut that will never get used up
    Halloween pillow that was no longer comfortable
    Bath mat and bath towels that got bleach on them

    The church where we will have a pottery sale table in December will also be holding a rummage sale in the church basement the day of the fair. I asked if I could donate a couple of boxes of wonky pottery to the rummage sale, and got an enthusiastic yes, so we dropped 2 boxes of pottery off last week.

    Was thinking I'd use up some of the sunscreen I have laying around the house as lotion, but it has that distinct odor. Did it last night anyways.

    5 books to the Hannaford book shelf. Most of them were from there anyway, but one was not, a really good retirement book, and ran into a lady browsing and gave it directly to her, since she is retiring next year. So a nice conversation and human moment as well as lightening the book load.

    Depends on ingredients?

    Tybee: That sounds really satisfying.
    Jeppy: Your choice of course, but I would not do that. There are too many sunscreen ingredients that are not good for you. I do still use sunscreen on my face on nice days in the fall and winter when I get out for walks, so I would recommend using it for that purpose instead, since I know you try to get out and hike.

    It is a local supermarket and in Maine, the ones that are more rural have a shelf where you can donate your old books, and then people buy them for a dollar paperback, two dollars hardback, and put the money in the jar, which then goes to the charity of the month.
