I remember this great story of yours! Now, if you had finished cleaning out the shed, what other gems would you have found?!

Thanks for re-publishing this. I would get back to that shed if I were you.

A great family story! I enjoyed it very much. Are there other treasures?

Treasure indeed, Sharron - what a great find! I really enjoyed this post - thank you!

I find it really lovely when people whose words I subscribe to read post something from their archive like this - you see, I most often only read newsletters at the time they are published, meaning that there are tonnes of posts out there which pre-date my subscription to that newsletter! I'm so glad that you reposted this one for me to enjoy today.

"Carmel-by-the-Sea." For sure. I thought it was of Point Lobos. Close. Neat story. Crazy how things work out.

I love Your writing. I had to brush off cobwebs and my clothes smelled a little musty. I was in the shed with You. And, what a find!
