Your mentioning, "I'm putting my affairs in order and I don't have any use for these." just hit me. Our daughter was down for the week end with her husband, and when they left yesterday, they had my old (100 yrs +) desk, sewing tables (the old ones from next to the rocking chair that held all the hand sewing), and cedar chest all of which I inherited from my mother in law, that she'd inherited from her sister. I hope I don't "know something" that I don't know!!
Trouts don't live in ugly places.
A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
