  1. Absolutely love these!
    I smiled at the lawnmower instruction. When my husband died he had no fewer than fourteen lawnmowers in one of the stables. He was a great believer in keeping these things for spare parts!

  2. I am glad you enjoyed my thrifty quotes. I could not come up with a title until yesterday while driving to a yard sale. Once I came home the quotes just started to flow. My husband Tom loves to have spare parts on hand. For those you never know repairs.
