Memories of Grandma's house

Saturday I attended my Grandma's estate auction. I grew up down the road from Grandma and Grandpa. I could walk across a field and be there in about 10 minutes. We spent a lot of time there, it's a farm and there were all kinds of things to do in the barns and yards. So I have many many childhood memories tied up with her place.

Grandma is still with us, but hasn't lived in her house for several years. It was kind of hard to watch all the things in her house being sold and sent home with strangers. The weirdest part to me, was that grandma chose to sell all of her belongings. No passing out of favorite chachkis or valuables to family. If we wanted something of hers, we bid on it like everyone else. So I found it to be emotionally draining.

I wanted to blog this for me. It's not exciting journaling, but its something to remember for me.
