what kinds of things ARE in those drawings?

Those kind of things 🙂

cool

Ooof. Almost all of one small crate sorted. 1943-1946.

Mind you, that's completely avoiding the wartime correspondence between grandparents but I can tackle that envelope tomorrow.

good on you for working through haunted boxes

One bite at a time.

I haven't even CONTEMPLATED my mom's stuff yet.

It may be a bit easier because she was a bit of a hoarder, and not a wealthy woman

so sadly... mostly not things of value, monetary or sentimental

but a LOT of stuff

Um, no

Apparently the chimera looks like this

Where's his ice cream?

I'm joking

Where's his CAMEL?!

Rae, I'll say that it's easier for YOU to deal with than for your MOM to. You have distance. You can toss stuff.

At least, that has been my experience.

She hadn't made it through Grandma's stuff yet

I may need to call in my auntie for that.

Shady, sounds like it could be fascinating discoveries

We're not close, but she may think things have family value I don't see

The chimera notwithstanding, I'm tired of autocorrect deciding that Coradel is a large ediface.

Rae, I promise you that is EXACTLY the case. She DOES think things have family value you don't see. That doesn't mean she's RIGHT but......

If she does, she is WELCOME to come get it

Mr. D, they are, they really are amazing insights. I teared up reading a poem attached to the stuff that documented my maternal grandmother losing her son at 17 hours.

Ouch. Yeah.

It was a newspaper clipping, she didn't write it, but I can see why she clipped it.
