Chapter 13

I got some things you might overlook that could prove useful to you.

I keep clothespins in a cloth bag in the laundry room.

Now, you might not want to use them for hanging wash, but they are good for other things, too.

I clothespin letters together that I walk to the mailbox.

They work just fine for closing up bags of chips and cookies.

I even use them for bookmarks in my magazines.

And you stuck some in the dirt one time to make a corral for your plastic horses, didn’t you love your palomino.

I guess this is probably a foolish thing to tell you about.

But I’m not going to cross it all out and have you wonder what I had said.

You’d probably think it was something real exciting or embarrassing when it is just me saying how much I like clothespins.

I feel that way about buttons, too. These odd little loves that we have and seldom tell other people about.

And yet in some ways don’t they make the world go round.
