How did that happen?

 Photo of the day:

Note about carpets:  Chatty brought up a good point, that carpets can house many things to which some folks are allergic .  Yep good point!

So for today:

Yes, we are still downsizing a little. I just burned about 30 pounds of history from our files. Up to 10 years of tax returns and about the same amount of medical and financial records. I filed too much over the years. 

My girl has been folding clothes she deems good enough to give to a charity.  We are not sure who takes the clothes but will check.  I did get rid of about 10 or more shirts.

And just like that, I realized I was missing something.. There are things I have planned for years. We were taught by parents who knew what they were saying, put something away for a rainy day. They lived thru the great depression, they knew somethings, we all gotta know that.

My blog entry was going to be about the first financial thing we learned, we NEED a budget.  Now that is on the back burner.

Do you realize how many uniforms I have worn? Every branch of service has winter and summer uniforms. Of those they have dress and work uniforms.

My last uniform was that of a USN Chief. I planned for Sherry to bury me in my Chief’s uniform.  So as I looked thru the closets, I am missing my uniform. I wanted folks to comment as they passed, Jack sure looks good as a Chief!  Shucks, now I won’t hear a word.  I am depressed. LOL.

I am hoping it is down in the RV, but I sorta doubt it.  Where could it be I have asked myself and Sherry .

I sure hope it shows up, Imma gonna be disappointed if I am buried nekkid, they can’t open the casket I would be embarrassed!

Ever ask yourself, HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?

Well, I thought about allergies, because I have them. lol

I hope you find your uniform, but if not, somebody will find something - I am SURE!

I sure hope you find your uniform, but this post sure had me laughing! I think if the uniform doesn't reappear you could wear a tool belt and not be totally nekkid and also dressed in what I'm sure you wear most days with all your projects! Ha! Have a good week Jack and I hope Sherry is also doing well. Hugs from Ohio!

Always an interesting and fresh read here. Thanx Jack. God bless you and Sherry.

No doubt you have stored it away in a safe place. I do things like that all the time. Then I can never find them again, I wish you luck on your search!
