Well this maybe little long winded… but then again y’all out there who know me … know I do that…LOL….so with a large mug of my strongest Cawfee ☕️☕️☕️
I had to make a trip home to Pennsylvania…. My only Brother passed away suddenly 😔.. so To do something I knew in the back of my mind I would have to one day … but never not just by myself 😔 ..
For over 47 years I have been an estate-sale -yard sale-thrift shop-and yes dumpster diver…. And I have loved every minute…. out of that above list… estate sales are my favorite… you meet the staff one-on one… at times the owner/ and or a family member … that is where it all begins with .. a simple Hello … a friendship ( short as it maybe )… the stories , history of the home and family …Priceless … Whenever I walk thru and just think how it all possibly was in their home and life…. the treasures they collected and the love of that HOME , well just once again .. PRICELESS ❤️
Now its me in the reverse role … its me… walking through each room of my parents home, sifting through countless photos, laughing , crying… just going back in time… and what a wonderful time it all was… now don’t get me wrong …yes we had our ups and downs… but overall was a great life. Their home is filled… and I mean filled with stuff… lol…. Now I knew it was , but geez Louise… after sorting, researching and pricing …. And finding more lol…when that corvette pulled out of driveway I melted 😢… then as we closed up last night , room to room shutting off the lights… I melted again 😢 and I mean melted… I know that I’m closing a great chapter … and a new one is starting but man -0-man….. its tuff 😔
Then bright and early the next day we opened the doors !!!!! As the people were talking to us and bringing the items they chose to purchase…. I melted again 😢 and then immediately smiled and the conversation between us was so so heart warming so many of the items sold, now beginning their new story and journey !
Then we did it all over again… and I melted again and again, but I have amazing support from and with my daughters … son-in-laws and grandchildren and I couldn’t ask for anything better ❤️ to share this ending chapter with because we all know the next chapter for all of us is going to be one grand one ! Then the long journey home to Tennessee was a true soul searching drive ❤️
Well told y’all it was Long-winded 🤣 but listen , please ..please… enjoy everyday , every minute that you can …truly doing what you love, truly enjoying your Family , following what dreams you have to the fullest, Love God… yourself and BE HAPPY and I mean truly HAPPY , Love and Live the Best Life you can…..and as I am drinking another large cawfee I know that is exactly what I’m going to do even more than I have been
Thank you to many of you out there near & far ….who messaged me .. since I’ve been little missing in action ❤️❤️❤️❤️ but I’m back so look out .. videos and much Cawfee coming your way with lots of laughs 🥰🥰🥰🥰
