The Organized Hoarder

My Beloved Grandfather passed away in October at a healthy age of 88 -- a Double Snowman in his terms!

He was an avid golfer, reader, and advocate of RESOURCEFUL LIVING! Definitely a hero of mine :-)

After two full weeks of cleaning through his belongings, we named him "The Organized Hoarder."
He kept nearly everything that touched his hands...

As a property manager, he had duplicates of every tool and piece of necessary hardware...

We found a stack of every grocery receipt since 1993...

We also found a box of every pocket calendar since 1954...

We even discovered a stash of yogurt foil tops in the back of his closet! I think his plan was to invents some new antenna for his television!

The list is endless.
Several "collections" were documented by photo and then dumped...
A few were recently sold at our garage sale...
But some I've kept as TREASURES!
The biggest treasure of all is that my hubby and I have the privilege of renting the home he lived in for 36 years! 

So let the story telling begin of how I am bringing new life to the old, rusty, and fabulous items that Grandfather so carefully kept to pass onto future generations!
