As a Boy Scout leader, I try to make sure the young men in my charge are always prepared. Troop 219's war cry is "We hike. We hike. We hike." Sometimes it is just along the waterfront of downtown St. Petersburg. But occasionally we'll take off in the woods of Withlacoohee State Forest. Anything can happen out on the trail, so you need to be ready for everything. I have hiked in the mountains of New Zealand, the deserts of Australia and the jungles of Brazil, but my day pack always contains the s..>> view originalMy Outfit Monday: Wrapping myself in a 'Thriftmas' miracle
Thrifters we are in the golden times. The final month of the year is where people reassess their lives and closets and part with the slightly worn and impractical items wearing them down. For us, it is Thriftmas. "Historically, January is when we get the most donations every year," said Chris Ward of Goodwill Suncoast. "December is the no. 2 month and then March comes in third with Spring cleanings."
