digging into the past

when you are out digging around in old things ...sometimes you can just feel the kids or people who loved the stuff so long ago...... i like that feeling....and a total thrill to me is to see a spot that is kind of like they left it.... i have been in places like that on house calls sometimes., rooms untouched for years ..an old toolshed just like the guy left it...... and even at auction when you see all an individuals things, you get a pretty interesting view into a different time and what they were like and what they liked....

kind of like
