So, Kenneth and I kind of live in the ghetto...well, it's not really ghetto - people aren't getting shot there everyday, but it reminds Kenneth of when he was on his mission in Mexico. Every spring, the community does a clean-up, where people can pile all their junk out on the street, and on the 21st garbage guys will come to take it all to the dump. Needless to say, there are some HUGE piles lining the sreets. Sady I must admit that Kenneth and I are taking part in all this - we are FINALLY getting rid of all the construction junk that has been sitting on the side of our house...Yay! We won't be white trash anymore!
So, the funny thing is, some of the people in our neighborhood have been skowering the piles and doing a little "shopping." So, on Sunday, my brother Michael and his soon-to-be-wife-in-two-days Kim came over for dinner and got to see the action first hand. Thus far we have had the following taken from our pile:
4 red and white checkered pillows that came with our couch
a set of blinds
a DVD rack - a person came to look at it and didn't know what it was, so we put a sign on it and the person came back and picked it up!
The old glass windows that we removed from the house
Sheet-rock
& a bread maker
Michael thought it was hilarious. After we ate dinner they wanted to play around with Kim's mom's new camera that they are taking on their honeymoon and to the reception down in Cali. So, we decided to take advantage of the Sunday warmth and walked around the neighborhood taking "trash" pictures of all the piles. It was a blast! I NEED to get some pictures up here...but it's kind of hard when we don't have the internet at home...I'll work on that. Anyway, has anyone else had fun experiences with trash parties?

hahaha, I love this story! Right now it's move out time for college students, so the dumpsters are over flowing with trash...and hidden "treasure". There's folks going through the trash constantly. It is a hoot to watch!!
