I thought it was going to be a quiet day but Kelli had other ideas. She had found another free piece of furniture.
“Where is it?” I asked
“Just outside Holland? Was the answer.
“How far outside Holland “ I inquired
“Hudsonville “
“What again! Is the town giving stuff away week?”
So that is where we went.
The address was a new development, so new the paint was still wet.
The two pieces were in the garage, they had been in the chaps bedroom as a kid, then past to his children, but as they grew up they wanted new stuff, so hence they needed to be disposed of.
As we carried the large dresser out to the truck, I caught sight of some shelving in his garage full of vinyl albums. I have never seen so many outside a record shop.
They were his father’s collection but these were only half of it, his brother had the other.
I alway thought I had a lot, but they dwarfed mine by a mile.
We headed back with our treasure, these pieces had a story behind them which is good to pass on.
A customer turned up to collect the small buffet, we had written her off because she stopped replying to Kelli’s messages, it was good to see the piece disappear on the back of her Jeep.
Another Lifetime to go
