Goodwill accepts donations on Wednesday. First thing Wednesday I took several of Mom’s donations. Danita offered to help, but there was no room for her in the car. I was dreading this because Goodwill wants us to sort donated items in some scheme that only they understand. But this visit was a breeze. They’ve made donating a lot easier. They have empty shopping carts. Just fill one up, roll it to the door, rinse and repeat.

Yesterday, Ed and Lynne came down. After enjoying a very nice lunch salad they took away the last of the donation items.

Having reclaimed the garage bay, I went to park the car in the garage. It was covered with small sticky balls of sap from the trees. A quick trip to the car wash took care of that. I also cleaned the deck and porch yesterday. Speaking of “rinse and repeat”, this is the heaviest pollen I recall. For the first time ever, I had to do a pre-wash before washing. The good news is that the spring chores are “Done done done done” (to the tune of Dragnet, coolest TV song ever).

There’s nothing on the calendar today. What will I do? Unfortunately, it’s rain and showers today, so no bike rides. My back is sore. That limits choring. I guess I’ll just have to take a day off.

Dani and Gayle are coming tomorrow to spend some time with Mom. Danita will pick them up from the airport because It’s my turn to help count the take. Tomorrow afternoon we plan to attend Motus. It sounds intriguing.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
