Old shops

[Lkdelta]

If you were just told to go clean out your grand-dad's shop, your dad's shop
or someone else's estate sale.. how do you feel walking into that old shop...?

Wondering what kind of magic might have happened here thru the years...
While knowing there wont be anything left of it pretty soon.

My Grand-dad's.. I felt so honored knowing that Gram trusted me enough to take good care of the prized possessions...

Went to a neighbor's estate sale last weekend. Got a few things, including this for $10.
Then watched the vultures that looked straight from sanford and son
clean out the old horse barn...

I went to an estate sale recently and bought some things. There were receipts and notes in the drawers. Tells a story. The tools couldn't tell much of a story, just that they had been used.

We had to organise my wife's step fathers stuff after his untimely passing a few years back. He had a workshop full of tools, welders, car bits you name it was there.
It was a strange feeling entering the workshop for the first time after the funeral to discuss with the family on how we would deal with it all. 3 yard sale later it was all gone.
