Home Sweet Home...........
Things change. I may have to pack up the top shelf so the place looks neat. My dad's hat, a basketball signed by Karl, John and the boys, a bell from a schoolhouse in the 1920 time frame, a couple of law books from the Pocatello Library distress sales a cowboy bought in a yard sale, perhaps 13 medals for finishing the St George Marathon, a grandfathers typewriter and a model of a 32 ford hot rod, globe of the world, and o yes, Books. The ship I brought back from Korea a few months ago. One of the chairs says University of New Mexico on the back sort of like a brand on the wood. Then there is a Idaho State University cup and a picture of the top of a calendar that says 1888 to 1988 Pocatello First ward and it has a picture of a painting titled "not alone 1847" of pioneers coming across the plains. Great picture. It was on the entire front wall of the chapel I attended as a youth. It is shown as a side picture on the blog. Just below the Amazon reviews link of some of the books on these shelves.

It's funny that to sell a house, we need to remove our personality from the place. This is simply because people lack the imagination to see beyond what is there. They can only imagine themselves in a house if it looks like any average person could live there.
And my husband, Jim, thinks I have books ! Well I know that none of my books could stand to be compared
with your collection either in content or by their covers...but I love them just the way they are. I have told my children that they better be careful about throwing them away without looking at them because I used to use dollar bills as book marks back in the day.... when I had a dollar [before I retired] ha ha!
