Mom is finally getting around to helping me make a new post. Here I am with some large animal holiday lanterns for a festive New Year!
Here are some of the presents we got for Christmas!
Here is the absolute best gift we got. mom’s boss gave us homemade cranberry-orange butter, caramel-pear sauce, and BACON JAM OMG!!! Tigers LOVE bacon jam it is the best thing ever I am so excited OMG mom open that jar RIGHT NOW! mom says don’t be silly you’ve never had bacon jam before and never even knew it existed until now. I guess she is right but I am a Tiger a carnivore I want that BACON JAM! It says to warm before serving mom can you please warm it up for me?
We have been cleaning up the basement and going through stuff and giving away things and also made a trip to the Waste-To-Energy transfer station. It is really interesting you drop off your garbage in an enormous warehouse and they Incir   encenerate  incenra burn it and turn it into electricity.
At the same location you can drop off receylabes  reciclab stuff to recycle. It is all very neat and organized. We had some steel from a landscape arch that broke and fell down in a big windstorm. It was great fun to drop it in the huge bin and hear it make a crashing sound! It was a very heavy duty arch and was quite a project to cut back the old honeysuckle that was growing on it and dismantle it.
Now that we got rid of some stuff we can get more! Mom wants a bookcase and a dresser and we heard the Habitat For Humanity store is a good place to look. This place is amazing! You can get almost everything you need here to build a house, fix it up, and fill it with things. All kinds of building materials, cabinets, doors, appliances, dishes and stuff for the kitchen like can openers, it’s overwhelming.
There was a whole aisle of tools with several bins of screwdrivers. They ranged in price from 25 cents!! to a dollar!! Mom was very very tempted to get some. She had recently mislaid one of her favorite screwdrivers and could not find it anywhere so she ended up buying a new one. Then a week later of course she came across the one she had lost. For the amount she paid, we could have gotten a couple dozen screwdrivers from Habit for Humanity. They are used and some of the blades weren’t so good, so next time we will bring some screws with us to try them out.
