(no subject)
Just after we got married, my husband's grandmother decided she was going to die. She told everyone she wanted no fighting over stuff after she was dead. She told everyone to put a stickynote on the things they wanted to keep and everything else would be sold. My husband picked out 3 things. An old time telephone that had been made into a storage container that hung on the wall of his grandmother;s kitchen. A row of 3 seats that came out of the Waxahachie court house that had penticles in the backs, and an old ice box that had been converted to storage for blankets.
A few monthes ago, he was told Grandma got a new lease on life and decided to move out of the old house in the ghetto and go ahead with the after death auction before she died. It was explained that he could still get the things he wanted, but they had to be gone over and an estimate had to be made and that would be taken out of, I guess, his inheritance.
Then a couple of weeks ago, someone finally told him Grandma was doing this because she was broke and noone was getting anything, too bad for you. And all the stuff had been taken and he wasn't going to get the things that meant something to him. "Hey, I gave up the things I had dibs on." his uncle said. Well, his uncle and aunts had chosen things because of monetary value and my husband had chosen the 3 things that facinated him the most at his Grandmother's house that he was never allowed to touch. I've been asking him about the stuff of his Mom's that was in Grandma's house. She had a whole box of glass kalidescopes that I hope are still there. But Grandma moved out and I don't know how much oversight was given to the peole overseeing the auction.
Husband found out the auction was today only because his estranged brother has been talking to one of the cousins. So he went to go watch his childhood memories be auctioned off.
Later, I think he and his brother are going to the gun range.
