The really sad...truly sad thing is that the grand daughter was selling all the stuff. There were pictures, bibles all kinds of family heirlooms. I just shook my head. She has a singer tredle sewing machine that i'm trying to find info on.
I think im going to go back and take a better peek. Model m322996. I think she was selling that for $100.
Sad for sure!
I think of things that I allowed to get out of my grasp that belonged to my family all because I was too young to know better. Tell the grand daughter to save the Bibles at least. There may be family genealogical records in them (I'm doing genealogical research now...years later). When the grand daughter is old enough to know better it may be too late and she will LONG for the things she's lost/sold/given away. PLEAD with her to pay attention. Years from now she will think of you and appreciate what you have done for her.
You can still keep the quilt :mrgreen:
