It's a health card for the BC medical services plan. A gold card for seniors. It belonged to a friend of the family, a woman who lived to be 105 years old. The date of birth is 10/93 -- as in 1893. I helped to clear out her house when she moved, several years before she died. She had lived there practically her whole life, with her sisters. All of them spinsters. After the relatives took away the really good stuff and we had five yard sales, there was still lots of stuff for me to take away. There are reminders of her everywhere I look around my house. Old letters, knick knacks, books -- many lovely things. I have kept this card in a drawer since 1998. I don't need to keep it anymore.<br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="mar16_10" src="http://www.reganz.com/files/mar16_10.jpg" width="252" height="166"/>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Untouchable</title><dc:creator>rhonda.ganz@gmail.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2010-03-09T18:55:14-08:00</dc:date><link>http://www.reganz.com/index.html#unique-entry-id-340</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.reganz.com/index.html#unique-entry-id-340</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[What to do with two touch lamps that don't work anymore? When there are three cats on the bed, it's pitch black in the room, and one of the humans wakes up because one of the cats is commencing to vomit, it sure is handy to reach over and touch a lampshade to shed some fast light and assess the situation. Is there time to move the urping cat onto the floor away from the rug? Musn't move too quickly or the two cats who hate each other might be pushed towards each other, take it as a sign of agression from the other and lash out with teeth and claws. It's a long way to the light switch -- both of these lamps stopped working last summer. We haven't been able to find replacements that we can stand to look at. Most of the ones we see look like the bottom example. Yuk. I don't know if I can recycle any parts of the lamps yet. That's why they are still taking up space in the shed. Took two boxes of dishes to the Sally Ann today. That felt good.<br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="mar9_10" src="http://www.reganz.com/files/mar9_10.jpg" width="252" height="194"/><br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="mar9_10_touch" src="http://www.reganz.com/files/mar9_10_touch.jpg" width="252" height="381"/>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Hardly worn but worn out</title><dc:creator>rhonda.ganz@gmail.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2010-03-08T21:16:13-08:00</dc:date><link>http://www.reganz.com/index.html#unique-entry-id-339</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.reganz.com/index.html#unique-entry-id-339</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Even though I haven't worn this thing in years and it has been carefully folded in a drawer, away from heat and light, the elastic has completely deteriorated and doesn't do what it's supposed to anymore. Not to mention that this no longer fits me. I no longer even own a strapless dress -- it's been at least 20 years since I've bared my shoulders in one of those (the bra is at least 20 years old too). Unfortunately this has to go in the garbage. The fabric is stretchy and synthetic -- can't even compost it or use it as a rag to shine my shoes.<br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="mar8_10" src="http://www.reganz.com/files/mar8_10.jpg" width="252" height="118"/>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>A book from childhood</title><dc:creator>rhonda.ganz@gmail.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2010-03-07T15:26:11-08:00</dc:date><link>http://www.reganz.com/index.html#unique-entry-id-338</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.reganz.com/index.html#unique-entry-id-338</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I LOVED this book when I was little. I read it over and over again. Gregory Clark wrote touching, funny stories. For me they were little glimpses into adult life -- not the scary things, but the amusing and heartwarming ones. Technically, I suppose the book belongs to my parents, since I they bought it. I merely appropriated it when I moved out. So when my Mom was here awhile ago and saw it in the pile of books I was going to send to my nephews she decided she wanted to re-read it and took it back. I made her promise to pass it on to the boys once she finished. I think they'll enjoy the old fashioned stories too.<br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="mar7_10" src="http://www.reganz.com/files/mar7_10.jpg" width="252" height="362"/>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Bowl plus tin</title><dc:creator>rhonda.ganz@gmail.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2010-03-03T19:34:00-08:00</dc:date><link>http://www.reganz.com/index.html#unique-entry-id-337</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.reganz.com/index.html#unique-entry-id-337</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Not much to look at or write about, but two more things gone is two things gone. I kept the cat food tin because it has such a nice painting of cats on it. Oh well. I have beautiful living cats to look at whenever I want to. And the hair bunnies all over the floor to prove it.<br />The bowl was hidden away at the back of a kitchen cupboard. Completely forgot that I even had it.<br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="mar3_10_2" src="http://www.reganz.com/files/mar3_10_2.jpg" width="252" height="191"/><br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="mar3_10" src="http://www.reganz.com/files/mar3_10.jpg" width="252" height="429"/>]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
