We were dismantling this old broken down little dresser that I had been using as a tv stand in my bedroom because I bought a cheap little dresser that I could actually open the drawers on. This old one was so decrepit that the drawers were stuck shut.
Tony carried it down to the woods to the burn pile and basically tore it apart to see what was in it and found a bunch of my mom's old clothes but also in it was my Grandmother's family bible. I still dont have her maiden name (sigh) but I do have some names and birth dates of people I dont even know. Also dates of deaths. Amazing how many of us were either born or died in January...lol. The last entry in the bible was my son Billy! By the time Jamie came along, my grandmother was still alive but she was too far gone into dementia and my mom never kept it up. I will have to make additions to it and catch it up to date.
This is a cool finding.
