Summer Special

I was walking in the neighbourhood a few weeks ago and saw these items laid out for free. It looks like a bedroom set.  It's not really my taste nor do I want a bedroom set, but it might have been a great find for the right person.

For the Taking

I was tempted to take one of these pots on the weekend (the largest one), these people put a whole bunch of stuff out for free. What do you think?

I had a busy day yesterday. I took my mom for her heart checkup. She had an ECG and an echocardiogram (Heart Ultrasound) done, then we saw the cardiologist. She's been stable for the past 6 months (she has congestive heart failure) and he doesn't need to see her for another 6 months unless things change. We went for a seafood (crab and lobster) lunch at a Chinese restaurant. It was delicious. The waiters and waitresses were all very friendly, either they weren't very busy, or else everyone was having a good day. We even got  complimentary corn soup (like an egg drop soup) and at the end of the meal I asked for 'that hot, black, sweet, silky dessert' and got it! The waitress couldn't tell me the name in English and I didn't know what it was either.  How's that for successful communication skills!

To a good owner

This is what I saw for free on a recent summer walk. It looks attractive doesn't it? It seemed to be a media cabinet. It's a good idea to put free stuff out a couple of days before garbage day, and it can go to a good owner instead of to the garbage. No, I didn't take it!

I was finally able to see the movie 'The best exotic marigold hotel' this week. It had been highly recommended and it did not disappoint. I even took a message away from it 'you cannot reclaim your past you can move on and build new lives' or something to that effect.
