Are you or have you ever been one of those people that hang on to EVERYTHING?!?!? I used to be one of those people, not much anymore because we don't have much room to keep anything.
*
But here's my issue:
Hubby and I lived in a small house, more like a tiny cottage, when we first got together, and a lot of my stuff was still in "storage". When we moved into a bigger house, there was a storage room that was built onto the back of the house. One where the only way to get into it was to go outside. We had stored a bunch of our "junk" in it. When we moved, we had actually forgot about said "junk", and left it there. Our landlord called me up and said that the neighbors where wondering if they could just have all the stuff that was left in there.
*
I had COMPLETELY forgot about that stuff and what all was in there, so I said sure, thinking it was just a bunch of "junk" that could be tossed anyways.
*
Skip forward to the present:
I got to thinking about some stuff that I had kept thru the years and wondered what had happened to it all. Like my cap and gown from graduation, some of the stuff that I had made in elementary school, old pictures, a ceramic praying hands nightlight/lamp that my grandmother made me before she passed away, and stuff that I had kept from being in the Basketball State Finals two years in a row!!
*
Where would you think that ALL that sentimental stuff went to?? Yep, I think so too!
So I have been thinking about doing something that I, of all people, would never ever do! I am thinking about going to the former neighbor's house and asking if they might still have some of that stuff, from 6 years ago!!
*
Crazy I know, but I really miss, and wish I had some, if not most, of that stuff back. I really beat myself up that I left it there!! I'll post later, if I ever get the courage to do it, and let you know what happens with it.
