Default Re: undiscovered cars

Some people have a hard time parting with objects whether it's a car or a book. I am part of that group. There have been some recent TV shows on this subject. I'm not as bad as those people profiled on TV but I fit the pattern. I have a lot of junk and eventual plans for it but for now it all sits.

Last summer my wife and I went through our shed, pulled out boxes of toys and clothes that our kids, ages 2 and 5 at the time, outgrew. We sold a lot of these items at a yard sale. It was hard to see the stuff go. We did keep some special items. Seeing strangers walking away with our kids' clothes and toys wasn't easy for us. I could remember certain events just by looking at the items. Birthdays, going to school, seeing the big smiles and hearing the paper tearing off things on Christmas Day, tucking them in at night in these PJs that I just sold for 50 cents........... I could go on.

The point is that we do not know the families that own these cars. We may never know the memories attached to them.
