Ärende: a toast!

Hi Ruth,

->  RH> before the electrics came along.  They're quite collectible

-> The fun part is going thru all the junquie shops to find the toasters.
-> (G) You can find some real treasures among the trash if you know what to
-> look for. I suspect old toasters are probably not considered treasures
-> to the casual customer in a shop like that but those who know what to
-> look for will find their treasure.

 RH> Been done, but I generally don't go toaster hunting.  They're not
 RH> worth much.

I don't go toaster hunting either; we don't have the room for a
collection like that.

 RH> I've found treasure a few times in those places. Just don't bother
 RH> with GoodWill; they send anything that looks good to auction.

We've not been to a Good Will in quite a while. Forget if it was them or
the Salvation Army thift store in Wake Forest that had men's suits--the
jackets one one rack, trousers on another, several rows over. Finding a
full suit was not an easy job; we decided to look elsewhere.

-> -> He made one for Life Group that didn't last long, then did another
 RH> for
-> -> the dessert auction. A family of 5 bought it; got the trifle bowl
 RH> back
-> -> the next week with a thank you note. (G)

->  RH> (LOL)  Contents disposed of to prevent spoilage!

-> In good order! We bought a plate of (4) warm from the oven cinnamon
-> rolls; the lemon pound cake I made was bought by a phone in bidder (a
-> member of our Life Group who knew how good it is).

 RH> A smart person in other words.  Those rolls were probably a good thing
 RH> too.

He knew he liked my desserts. Our first year in Life Groups, he bought a
pumpkin roll I'd made for the dessert auction (held close to the end of
October that year.) The rolls have always been a popular item at the
auctions; we got some a couple of years ago and enjoyed them. This year
I would only have half a roll as a serving so I wouldn't use a meal's
worth of carbs on just it. Made them last longer that way. (G)
