How many pair of scissors do you have in your house?
Tommy has one pair. I had maybe 60. I had enough for 20 Christmas boxes. Remember I held craft camps at a civic center, too. So, there were many used scissors. I sent some to granddaughter.
I had a pair of Gingher sewing scissors and a pair of Singer sewing scissors. I lost the Singer scissors. After searching the house many times, even the freezer, all drawers, EVERYWHERE, I purchased a pair of Gingher. About ten years later, I got rid of my upholstered swivel rocker. When I felt down beside the cushion and down further, there were my Singer scissors.
I have three pair for the kitchen alone. One pair I only used on meat even though I washed it. The other two are from Harbor Freight. I offered one to Tommy, but he said he did not need scissors. Oh, Yes, HE DOES.
Before I purchased this new car, I had children's scissors in the console to cut coupons or whatever. I find scissors indispensable.
What do I do here when I need scissors? Well, the love seat is about six feet from Tommy's chair. I have him toss the scissors to me, but beside me. I turn away in case of a wild toss. I don't want to toss them back, but he insists. So, if you hear he is impaled, you know how it happened.
Why don't I get up and go get the scissors? It just hurts my back so much to rise from sitting.
I even had a pair of scissors that Daddy gave me that were about 14 + inches long. I may not have them anymore.
I had scissors in my craft stuff, in my baby bead stash for making necklaces, in the kitchen drawer, standing with utensils, in a table by my chair, in the bedroom, in the car. I also had some that I gave away along with other school supplies that I bought for very little. Why did I need scissors in the bedroom?--To cut those plastic tags off clothing.
"Scissors" is the other thing I was thinking about when I wrote "Kudzu and".
Okay, now the weather. It is 35F Friday morning in Birmingham. It's cold enough for the heat to come on. For about four days, it was suffocating in here. Finally, Tommy turned on the ac. I think he was feeling the stuffiness, too. I still am barefoot in the house with short, sleeveless summer gown. He has the thermostat set to 64 right now. My room is the coldest in the house. Thankfully, I like a cool bedroom.
Now, it is evening and I am looking for what to cook for dinner. I dug around in his freezer and threw out two plastic bags all wadded up. AND, there were plastic containers from somewhere, just generic things, one red top from KFC sides, no bottom. I quit digging when I found a package with a dozen frozen sausage patties. These barely have any seasoning and they are huge, maybe five or six inches across and thin. Perfect! Dinner--two sausage patties, sweet potato, Crowder peas, Delicious apple.
