She left everything in the house to him, but the house was sold and the money given to missions. Every floor was a treasure hunt, and oh my word, the boxes in the basement held so many cool things! Including all of her wire-rimmed spectacles!

We bought a house full of possessions once, but an auction company had been hired to come and take anything of value. I would have loved some of the pieces the owner had, not even the antiques but some of the items that just seemed to belong there. Winnifred was very brave!!Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.com
