Finding Treasures

You've probably seen those piles of junk at the sides of the roads. The thing that amazes me is that you can find treasures in those piles. I know you may have a hard time believing this, but I know first hand since I've picked through enough of these piles during our spring or fall cleanups on the reservation.

Some of the treasures that I've benefitted from include:

• brand new golf bag with tags still on - I'm using it today;
• brand new Yankee Candle that provides a nice cedar & citrus smell in my house;
• a picture book of the Thousand Islands that reminds me of the wonderful times I had growing up in the Islands;
• Christmas lights that look great on my tree; and
• brand new wallpaper that allowed me to bless a friend in need.

Although I won't be picking through any of the piles this year, I will be keeping a watchful eye as the loads come into the transfer station. Let me know if you are in need of any treasures and I may be able to find just what you are looking for.
