Making Memories

It should come as no great surprise, but I am gone again.  Again,  just an overnight trip, but left this evening after work with Janelle and headed to the beach.  My son-in-law has an aunt who lives at the beach and he and the boys left this morning to get here by lunch time.  As previously mentioned Janelle and I left after work and came down.  I will be going back home tomorrow (or actually this evening).  We have had a great ride down and a great time since we got here.  As we are at the beach and  a lot of folks left today or getting ready to leave in the morning they are packing up and throwing stuff away.  Our entertainment for the night was 'dumpster diving'.  Not actual dumpsters but riding around looking for stuff that folks had thrown away rather than taking it home.  LMAO!!!! Thing 1 was super excited about going and has the eyes of an eagle!  Thing 2 was the Moral Majority of this group and was concerned with the fact that we might be stealing.  After explaining to him that if people were throwing it away we were not stealing from them.  And the funny part is we made quite a haul.  5 beach umbrellas of which we are going to be able to salvage 2 or 3.  About 20 chairs of which we are going to be able to salvage about 10 of them.  2 charcoal grills both of which are in good shape, 1 cooler which just needs a new plug, and one big ass rug which is not hurt at all!  Yep pretty good night to spend riding around with the kiddos and collecting garbage.  Remember, one man's trash is another man's treasure.  A new experience for me and one that I am sure will probably happen again.  To be continued I am sure.
