So my grandpas wife passed away about a month ago. That has left me, my sister and my dad to clean out the house that has had stuff crammed in it for the past 50 years. I had no idea that one house could have so much shit shoved in every nook and cranny. We found canceled checks from 1941. We even found a christmas card from 1918. No lie. My grandparents owned a hardware store for 30 years and they kept every receipt and every piece of paper that ever went through that store. It is just ridic. It's been very interesting though. We found a TV from 1952 and an old phonograph machine that still works.
For the past month my days have been consumed by that house. I feel like every waking moment that I'm not at work I'm out there. We are getting really close to being done though. I painted for 20 hours last week. I had no idea their living room was so big. I spent 10 hours just on that room. It looks so much better though so it's worth every ache and pain.
Sunday we had a get together out there. We did a little garage sale without the sale part. It was more of a give away. We invited the rest of the family and some friends out to go through all of the stuff we don't want so we had less to give to goodwill. I'm shocked that there wasnt enough stuff for an auction or something like that but the stuff that is left isn't worth a garage sale. I figure if we can't give it away nobody is going to buy it.
We did find some really fun things out there. Like every pair of glasses they ever owned.

My favorite thing that we came across was this lovely Owl Costume. I know you are jealous. It's ok. Green looks good on you.
That is what I have for you this time. Enjoy!
