Cool Coincidence

Grady and I love estate auctions.  Actually it goes more like this:  Grady finds an auction he wants to go to.  I complain about it, but go anyway.  I end up purchasing more things than he does. 

It happens everytime. 

So a few weeks ago when he said he wanted to go to an auction for a goose-neck trailer, of course I complained. 

And came home with more things than he did.  :)

But the coincidence came when some guns were being auctioned off and I heard someone mention my late father-in-law.  I couldn't make out what was being said about him, but quickly informed Grady that we needed to pay attention.  The auctioneer then proceeded to read the little name-plate on the gun which had my father-in-law's name and address engraved on it. 

Sold. 


Arnold was a big trapper and Grady thinks this was one of the guns he took trapping when he was younger.  It is not a fancy gun, but it was Arnold's and that makes it worth more than what we paid for it.
