Hidden Treasure!

Okay so to start this off let me introduce you to my house


Her name is Shelby...as in "Shelby" DONE one day! She is an 80 yrs Gem... that has a few scratches!

My mom & I are fixing her up one thing at a time! its not he easiest thing in the world but i think she will be Marvelous in the end!

SO today's Journey was this:

I got up and whilst mom was finishing painting the service porch i went out and decide to Tackle a bit at a time the Ol' Termite Infested Shed in the back yard!

Our neighbor helped us the other day in toppling it over... and well after Several days of MORE rain! (Shocker in Oregon!) Today was actually a nice day!

So with the Sun Shining ... My Mp3 player Booming the Latest GLEE soundtrack in my ear! I hammered away the shed one bit at a time!

and here is where my day got interesting!

I had just finished peeling off the roofing to it... since that was still good and will be re-used elsewhere... Tore off the black paper, and low and behold there was a Cubby hole in the top of the roof!

And in it were 2 things...

1 was an old light fixture that still had the fabric wiring in it... yeah...Old!

& 2 was this... which i just about squealed over... there was 2 1940-ish looking shot glasses wrapped up in some kind of cellophane.

My mom and I couldn't believe that they survived the fall from the shed.


My question & curiosity is this:

WHY would anyone hide shot glasses?

How LONG have they been there?

Exactly How OLD are they?

those questions plague my mind.

Its funny that our house gave us a small treasure... its almost like uncovering a brand new sprout in your dead garden!

Which i can say our plants in front & back have Sprung into life since we got here... and our neighbor said he has never seen the plants bloom and grow like they have since we have taken over!

Well that's all the excitement i can take in one day!

Ciao'
