[QUOTE="Tiquer, post: 11610024, member: 85332"]We were at a heartbreaking Estate sale yesterday. It was my fault because I suggested it, but still. The passing must have happened recently, as the Xmas tree was still up and lit, stockings still hung, just awful. Strangers trudged through this house laughing and being loud, I just watched in disgust. A family Bible was there from 1903, just left to get trashed eventually, I'm sure. I would have saved it but it was $45 and I already have an older Bible here from another family that I don't know. There were some coins and jewelry that I looked at, but nothing that made me leap. The husband appeared to have been a pilot in WW2, and this was what remained of his footprint on this Earth. I know this happens all of the time but it just bugged me. We did bring home a beautiful cedar chest that envied eyes watched go out of the house. At least we preserved something.[/QUOTE]
