What is a monkeybox?

When I was a little girl, we had a pet monkey named Amanda. My Dad worked in the produce business, so each night he brought home that days culls in a big box - spotty cucumbers, pithy apples, limp celery, moldy oranges and the like. We called it a monkeybox. It was really just trash, but my Mom would take each piece of fruit and trim it, pare it and cut it up to make a beautiful fruit platter for Amanda. Even though it was deemed trash by one, it still had life left in it and was good for the purpose we needed it. That's how I live my life - thrifting, yard saling, looking for another's trash to be my treasure.

"Might be time to downsize"....Ya think?

A steal at FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. 

Thud.

  2. Oh no! I wouldn't want even one of those clowns. I'm scared of them! They would be great for a Haunted House though :)

  4. Shara~ I think there are more people like you that are creeped out by clowns than those that like (or can at least tolerate) them!! I have a few odd 'clown' related items I have picked up (NO - NOT 1500+ of them!!!!) that I was going to put on ebay... wonder if I'd be wasting my time?!
