Last two attic boxes coming down tomorrow. These are smaller, but they were also the furthest buried. My bet is probably Bruce's grammar school boxes - LOL.

We are finding some really neat stuff. There was a collection of antique pad locks - with keys. And a really pretty - small antique mirror - intact. Very heavy - border surrounding it is cut glass. Very retro. That heavy box I told you about was a clamp of some sort - in its original box. Like to hold wood you might be cutting and a set of pipe wrenches. If there is one honing stone, there are 10. And what Bruce called a Circular Saw. I didn't bring that down. Will move it when the tools get organized.

In doing all of this, I was setting aside things to donate when I realized my nieces may be in apartments of their own soonest. So I'll sweep out that attic now that it only has ACs in it and start the donation pile up there. That way if the girls want some of this stuff, it is handy.

We'll be taking a break for a bit. Have to get the deck cleared and outside water shut off for winter. All the furniture and lawn stuff stored away. Bruce has to pay bills this week and we have errands we have been putting off. Next week I will have him start and go through all his "saves" and get them into his container. Then we will have room for the books he wanted to keep.

The very best find was Brittany's Golden Books - small collection. She took most of her stuff after College, but she must have left these. These are the little flat square ones. I wiped them down and we are going to wrap them up and give them to her for her birthday. They will be perfect for Izabella and Britt will enjoy explaining that they are Mommy's!. Debbie
