The daily afternoon routine of feeding the dogs and taking them out includes a trip to the mailbox. It's always right around 5pm, which of course this time of year means it's already dark, so I just grab what's there and sort it out on the kitchen table. A couple of days ago as I reached into the mailbox I felt a very thick booklet that was not packaged. Clearly a catalog, which is certainly not surprising for mid December.
As I walked back down the dark driveway carrying this catalog that was as thick as a small phone book, a few random thoughts came to mind:
"Wow, somebody sure has a lot of sweaters to sell."
"Great! 200 pages of ceramic frogs and bobble head Santas!"
"I knew that Publisher's Clearinghouse entry would comeback to haunt me. I wonder how many useless $2 gadgets that sell for four easy payments of $5.99 are in this this thing."
Imagine my excitement when I finally reached the light of the kitchen and saw what I was actually holding:
The 2012 truck catalog from Chevs of the 40's!
I'm about half way through it, coming up with all kinds of things I want for the truck. Now all I need is a little lottery mojo...
I love this time of year!
