Antique estate sale

Well, it is finally happening. We have decided to downsize and sell our family heirlooms that we have been collecting and dragging around the world for over 60 years. That’s right, over 60 years! No, I wasn‘t collecting as a baby, but my mother was picking up things from all over the world as our family followed Dad from Army post to Army post. Some of the assignments were overseas.

In every place we would live, our “family hobby” was to scour estate sales, flea markets, and antique shops. Then I started doing the same when I was a teenager. Then when Dee and I married, we started all over again with the same family “disease.” Then Dee contracted the “disease” as badly as I.

Now we had two terminally ill people collecting any and everything imaginable. Now I am not talking about “junk,” I am talking about “junque.” There is a difference, for sure.

I realize that one man’s meat is another man’s poison, and that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but we do have some very unique items that we are putting in the estate sale.

We estimated that we would need a Phase I, and a Phase II, to really move the items; however, I strongly believe we will need a Phase III.

I forgot to tell the best part. Now that our church is finished in Senoia, our plan is to move down to that area, which is just 13 miles from Fayetteville. So rather than have to move all these beautiful antiques, we are having two or three sales!

Phase I is April 21-23.  Phase II is May 26-28.

Do you possibly remember a song in the late ‘50s titled “Me Casa, Su Casa” (My House is Your House)? If you do, then you can understand that you now have the golden opportunity to move all these treasured junque (not junk) items from our house to your house! Then one day 20 years from now, you too can host an estate sale. See how the disease works? This way you can feed your terminal disease like we have over the years. Then your whole family can be infected, but think of all the fun you will have in the process!

Dee has written a book about some of the items called “This is the House God Built.” She has stories of how God gave us items and we preserved them for over 23 years traveling around the world as an Army chaplain family.

Hope to see you here! God bless you, and if you get “cured” between now and “sale” time, think of the fun you will miss!

(The church’s Web site is under construction and will be up and running shortly.)
