When you’ve lived in one house for nearly fifty years, you tend to accumulate some interesting things along the way.  Here are a few things I found at my grandmother's house.

Above:  a package of six "Animal Party Sticks."  They're at least a few decades old, still in their original wrapping.

Below:  an oil painting by my aunt Frances when she was in high school.

The windmill below has been there for several decades, even though they land was parceled so it no longer sits on Gran's property.
