Find Value In The Unexpected

---

This old gal…

Has the hardest time…throwing certain things away…might need it for a costume…or a project…or as a prop for a play…there is always potential for use…down the road…

And so it is with the zippered plastic container…that homed a new blanket…or bedspread…or sheets…there’s something about them…that beg to be saved…

It must be the zipper…it seems so legit…so much cooler than a garbage bag…or a ziplock…like a person actually sewed this in…surely SOMETHING needs to be stored in these handy dandy things…

And so…after years in a plastic tote…these guys…got their day…shoved full with t-shirts…and socks…and knit pants…they did their part…and made this old gal proud…

Unpacking done…the quandary begins again…they’ve done their job…there won’t be a move again…for a long long time…and til now…no other use has been found…

But that zipper…you just never know…
​
And this husband of mine…who doesn’t even want to keep the plastic totes…would so totally…not agree…
