The Apple does not fall far from the tree....

I remember a story told by Patsy or Fleta. One of my ancestors, years ago, got a divorce. Fleta found the court records of things that she took when she left her husband. One of those items was a down filled mattress pad. In those days I am sure it took years to get enough down to make a mattress of down. Well Mike made a list of all of the things I took when I left the house. Most of it was fiction...Things I did not take but he saw in pictures from years ago and he no longer has such as the deep fryer he listed I gave to Melissa and Ben years ago and in their divorce Ben ended up with it....

But below is an interesting bit of info....I scanned a sheet of things Mike said I took when I left. You will notice Mike wrote I took 2 down comforters (I don't know why he put pillow) and 8 pillows......Which I really did take. Maybe this list will go on record somewhere and years to come some of my Great, Great, Great Grand kids will see this list and the one Fleta ran across from one of my ancestors from years ago that took the down mattress pad and have the same vision I have as I have seeing that old woman walking down the dirt road carrying that stuffed mattress pad with her.

I hope they know I at least carried mine off in a little red corvette convertible.....
