It was a fine house, great for getting the remainder of kids through high school and on to college. When my big lab passed away, I was ready. It took me a couple years of looking, but I knew when I found it. I'm in my "all about me" house now, and it's perfect. I hope to never move again :) Good luck in your upcoming hunt!

Plus, I have a boatload of my dad's stuff, materials from the 40's onward. I have it in cabinets, shelves, boxes, and spread out across a 8' desk. I look at a patch of feathers I got in 1981 and think "I might use that". On and on. <br /><br />Eventually I have to do something with it all, plus fly rods, reels, etc. None of my kids are interested in fishing. None of my kids are sentimental either, but a few years ago when they were all here I found them cataloging things, arguing about who gets what. I told them I was going to get a food taster for when they are home. <br /> Should Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400586203204886095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104951117718966173.post-5827868391936290152013-06-02T08:09:17.193-04:002013-06-02T08:09:17.193-04:00I checked that link.
