Kathleen's favorite thrift store in Arizona is The Golden Goose, a well-run volunteer enterprise that recycles tons of household items. Volunteers there dart about in bright aprons, organizing and marketing all sorts of donations. These aprons caught Kathleen's fancy, but for years she has been disappointed that they just aren't for sale. This week, however, persuaded by a surrepetious application of cash and shameless begging, the store manager bent the rules and rummaged a serviceable cast-off from the back room. Three Shouts and a wash-and-dry cycle later, the item was gift-wrapped and this morning presented to the surprised and thrilled service person at Cafe del Solveig. The photo above includes all four members of this morning's sunny group. The photograph was made possible by the proper application of a time-delay feature, and a used tripod, purchased this week for $12.... at the Goose, of course!
