Memorabilia - First World Country Problems

Years ago my mother gave me items commemorating Princess Diana. She thought they'd go up in value. Hmm.

There's this nice, brand new tray. Nobody has ever used it.

Here's a 1998 calendar, never opened. I think I bought that for myself all those years ago. I must have thought it'd go up in value too.

This is a brand new tea towel my mother gave me. Very colourful.

I even kept this Time magazine as it has a special report about Princess Diana.

Now, I doubt if any of these items has actually increased in value. I have tried selling them on Craigslist. Since I don't know how much to charge I just put "make an offer".  Nobody ever did make an offer. I just recently tried to sell the above items on a local website where I live. Do you think anyone wants these things?  Nope. Nobody got back to me.

I hate to throw them out. I don't really want to keep them either.

Guess this just one of those problems of living in the suburbs in a first world country. Dear oh dear.

Days of Wine and Roses

What happened to 2012?! Just too much procrastination going on around here, and
too many flowers and other inebriating delights swirling around.

Hmm. January of 2012 had us in Puerto Rico

and Saint Maarten.


 April, we were back at Massanutten, Virginia. August, we were in Niagara on the Lake, Ontario, and in October we were at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina and also Massanutten.
