Whoohoo! I finally found something for someone. I bought a house 3 months ago that had been empty for almost 3 years. There was a vintage car sitting out in the weeds & the grandson of the old owner came up to get it. Well, the car was litteraly imbedded in the ground, the kid's rented pickup got stuck in the mud, & when it got dark he had to give up & make the 5 hour trip back home empty handed. While we were digging the truck out he showed me his wedding band & asked me to look for the matching one. He lost it on his last trip up last year & was pretty upset about it. I had been cleaning up the property & had sent 2 of the huge dumpster loads to the dump. When I saw the ring I remembered seeing something like it but I had thought it was a fitting off the faucet in the kitchen. I was sooooo afraid that I had tossed it! After he left I spent a couple of days looking and I finally found it. I had thought it belonged to the faucet so I had tossed it into a drawer. He was really excited when I called him & today I sent it off in the mail. At least his trip up here wasn't a total loss! It sure felt good to be able to return something that had been lost.
Also, I had found a box of family photos burried in some junk in the attic. When I told the grand daughter about the photos she almost cried. The family had been looking for those photos for years. Turns out her grandfather had been a photographer and had covered the Appolo One space launch. Those photos were in the box along with some photos of JFK.
