As I mentioned earlier, the previous owner left all kinds of
stuff in the attic. Her daughter told me that they have no use for them; I can
do what I want with them!
I’ve always been fascinated by attics. As a child, I used to
sneak up to my grandparents’ attic to explore. It always felt like a magical,
mysterious place, slightly scary but not too much so, filled with forgotten
treasures waiting to be discovered. I’ve felt the same way in the past few
weeks, climbing up to my own attic.
The most wonderful discovery I’ve made so far is an old
shoebox filled with typewritten sheets of poems and black and white photographs. Photos and scans of those soon!
