Emails from the couple...

I received emails thanking me for the items that were taken yesterday.

"Thank you so much for passing on so many incredible things for our home today! We got home and put on one of your grandmothers old records and halfway hung the curtains in the living room and we couldn't help but to think of what a neat lady your grandmother must have been and we are so grateful that you shared with us today :)  - Jeremy & Priscilla"

Amazing

~AMAZING~
A couple hours and a persons life is loaded in a truck that drives away.  
Truck with all the house


Rabbit laying in the sun right below the main window.  Then I heard a hawk so I think he was playing dead.  Tapped on the window to make sure he wasn't already dead.  Then he ran into the bushes.  Good boy/girl

Cleared out main living room and dining area
I spent the majority of the day with the guys from the auction.  And was posting pictures of stuff for craigslist which actually went quite well.  I had a couple that came that was interested in the free TV and chairs etc but ended up oo'ing and ah'ing over the wallpaper.  They attempt to decorate this way and couldn't believe how intact all the fixtures and wallpaper were.  They ended up taking a ton of stuff that they needed to start a home together.  In exchange they took the big TV to the donation center for me.  This is how I remember grandma Merce, always giving things to people and enjoying how much satisfaction that came from that.  I heard "Thank You"  sooo many times today.  I'm in high hopes that my grandma is watching with a smile...and a drink.
