As many of you are aware I have been working to liquidate the estate of a dear friend of mine since her death in May. She was a shopper and a keeper. When something new came in, nothing went out, the old was moved over to make room. When my friend had her kitchen redone ten years ago she moved her then 2-year-old stove to the basement. So at the end of the day, there was this 12 year old newish stove in the basement which NO ONE wanted to buy. After a garage sale and 3 days of estate sales, the gas stove was still sitting in the basement. I put an ad in the PP, not a lot of excitement there either. I hired two people to haul it out of the basement. It was awkward and difficult to get up the steps and by the time it was out of the basement I made the executive decision it was going to the alley to take up residence next to the dumpster.
The next day a lady called in response to the ad in the paper. I told her to go get it out of the alley, get it OUT of my life. A couple of days later I got the following card.. "To the owner of the property at 710 Goodrich: Thanks so much for the lovely gas stove. We have not been able to afford a stove for over a year so this is greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas" Bumped ..and humbled.
