Where Did I Hide It?
I have been in the clean up/throw away mood this past week. We eliminated a huge about of "stuff" when we moved here 14 years ago, but I had been accumulating more since then. My closet was packed. Even the extra shelf I installed 14 years ago was full. I have put a lot on Ebay to try to sell for pennies on the dollars of the original cost. Old cameras, both still and video are not worth much. A lot went in the trash and the rest is part of a growing stack awaiting the heavy trash pickup new week. I also went after the small attic space that is above our garage. My wife poked her head up there and asked what was in the large box that was pushed in the back. I had not idea so we brought it down into the garage. Digging through all the plastic peanuts reveled a brass and crystal chandelier that we had removed from our last house. We had both forgotten about it. Put it on Craig's list , but haven't had any offers yet. Actually we did have one offer. A women answered the ad and said she loved the old chandeliers but she had just purchased a new one and wanted to know if I would like to trade. Really?? I didn't even answer her.
Thinking about the chandelier that we had forgotten , I remembered how many times I have heard about some impoverished person dies and then when relatives start sorting through their stuff, they find caches of money or other valuables. Some surmise that the person was a miser, but I think its just a matter of hiding stuff and then forgetting where they hid it. I have done that and should write a note to help me remember where I hide something. Only problem is that I wouldn't remember where I left the note.
