We love to visit the "dump site" in back of our building and have found some very nice and useful things. The lamp was the only light in our bedroom and came in very handy. We also found lots of candles for our 72 hour kits.


Our kitchen is kept clean by the broom and mop we found. You can't imagine the nice serving dishes and glassware that was thrown away. We took most of it, and anything else we find that is good but not useable by us, to the Salvation Army Thrift Store.


The picture adds to the atmosphere in our apartmet because "nice matters".


Baskets for magazines and to carry most things are very useful. We keep the stroller in the car. It is good when we have too many groceries to carry.

Where does one put all the keepable lessons? I thought, "A file would be nice." Well the very next day we were coming home and there on a neighbors lawn was a desk and a file cabinet. We rushed our groceries home and when we got back another couple was eyeing our find. They were interested in the desk - so we took the file. It fit perfectly.


Yesterday I was working on two lessons and the pile of books was unmanageable. I thought, "If I only had a little table that could go next to my chair." Well, this morning there it was. Couldn't be better. It's about 18" high and as you can see it holds a variety of study materials within easy reach.
