One broken rivet and someone decided the chair was done. My kid will get at least one more year out of it!

Technically they weren’t in the dumpster, but they were headed there. We cleared out an attic before it was being insulated, and the owner wanted nothing that was up there. I saved four pairs of old jeans and two shirts. Unfortunately all the sweaters were eaten by bugs or ruined by nesting rodents.

Transcription (keeping spelling and grammar as close as possible to the original.)

“In memory of Margaret Annetta Payne.

The world that you made for us was a beautiful one. In this world you gave us more than a home, love, happiness, and responsibility you gave us a mother and a father. There were times when things got to the point were it seemed that you couldn’t go on, but the love that you had to give, gave you the courage and the strength to carry on. You taught that everything is possible.
Moma you would say the Lord wount put no more on you than you can bare. There aren’t enough words to say or express the love you gave us or the many nights you sat awake careing for us where we couldn’t turn to no one else. We all have mother’s and father’s but they’ll never be the parents you were to us. As you climb the stairway to heaven, our hearts, love and memories go with you. Rest on in you world of peace because within us your always livin. Margaret Annetta Payne the love you gave us and your friend will live within their hearts as well as ours.

It was pretty much the only thing in there so far, but I’ll check again next time I pass. 😂

The foam pumpkins are from 1999 and 1993, the ceramic is likely the same timeframe, and the “Giggle Buddies” guy is from around 2003. The giggle buddy still makes noise, but doesn’t move anymore.
