Cellar Scribblings

I felt like I had won the lottery yesterday. There was a lovely downpour in the evening but it was clear for the Perseid Meteor Shower in the very early morning.

How nice!    You can never see it around here. 

Very cool, Lee.  We had showers, so the  skies were overcast, I would never have been able to see them.   it always seems that whenever there's an event like this, I miss out on it.  LOL

I'm just taking some time to be introspective.  I may not have the nicest place to live, or car to drive, but ya know what?  I'm happy, and that's all I care about.

Introspective Chuck?  Look out, world! 

Chuck, you're happy and you care about your family, and also about other people less well off than you.  Good for you!  I'm proud to call you my friend.

Had some extra cash this week after everything was said and done, so I went on a shopping spree for a charitable cause.  The United Way is running an event called "Stuff the Bus", it's a charity drive where you buy school supplies, and they're donated to kids whose parents can't afford to buy them.  I went to a place called "Five Below"  (all stock is below $5.00) and for $100.00 managed to get 5 sets of the following items:  Backpack, pencil case, three ring binder, composition book, pencils, pencil sharpeners, pens, glue, crayons, spiral notebook, 3 hole-punched lined paper, folders. 

Five young students will be supplied for school with all those items. 

Good for you! And I bet that was a fun shopping trip, too!

What a generous and inspiring thing to do, Chuck!

You're a real mensch!

Hello Bettermost Friends!



Had a late night of bowling, so I took today off.



Not looking towards going back to work on Thursday, I was given a new laptop to use on the job,  but I have to download a lot of the stuff I need to use for work, so I'm not thrilled with that.  LOL

Oh well, you do what you have to.  The good part about having the laptop,  during  snowstorms, I can stay home.

Thanks, BBP!    I'm proud to call you friend too!

Hiya Sonja and Jeff!   Actually, one thing I found out, I did the opposite of what my parents did.  LOL


When i was in grade school, I wanted a backpack that had this image on it.





and this was the lunchbox I wanted. 





However, mom and dad thought it best that we all have 'plain' backpacks and lunchboxes....if the characters/shows were suddenly not popular, they thought we would then want newer items.

So, when I did the shopping, I got stuff like Superman, Spiderman, My Little Pony,  Disney Witches,  and stuff like that.   lol

[Sason]

I'm sure you made some kids very happy!

[CellarDweller]

I hope so!

Eventually, I got this one.  Snoopy was my superhero.
