Last week I posted about our glorious relics found while cleaning out my parents house. You can read about it here. This week is Part II of that story. Last week was mostly from the “Great Room” above the garage. This week is mostly from the basement.
“What is that?” is the most common question the kids have asked while cleaning? So far, the answers have included the following:
What Is That?
tithing slips from 1993
4 decorative clocks
an old water heater
cooking gadgets galore
the framed Christmas Card we gave my parents to announce our first pregnancy – Caitlin
a picture of my parents on their wedding day
a stuffed Tiger Fish
a tablet that nobody knew existed
enough MRE’s to feed the 101st Airborne
Christmas lights… again
coupon for .50cents off a 12 pack of Coke… expired 2002
the Kusanagi sword that was supposedly lost as sea
rocking chair my mother had as a child
2 unopened attic fans
a glass jar my mother says is older than she is
3 unopened things of Dominos
a jar of Mango strips
a bouncy ball hidden under a floor for 30 years
spiderwebs… lots and lots of spiderwebs
a racquetball that I had thought was a pile of cobwebs until I picked it up
a big rock …x3000
4 (or more) drills that don’t work
an unused 125,000 BTU furnace
a large wooden turkey
The Jules Rimet Trophy missing from Brazil since the a970’s
30 year old fiberglass HVAC ducts (duct board) x 40
enough glass jars to make Ball and Kerr jealous
and finally…
