Wow, cool about your house. I bet you would find neat things in your yard. <br /><br />This house was built in 2002, so it doesn't really have much history associated with it. We did find an old piece of equipment stuck up in the rafters under the house, but the daughter of the person who build this place lives nearby and we're planning on giving it to her. (When we ever remember to get it over there.)<br /><br />I'll find my enthusiasm again. Maybe when Spring actually arrives. ;o)B.E.

I'm still sorry I didn't have a chance to grab it. I'd love to "dig" my backyard. The people who built this house were Czech refugees. We've found envelopes of money taped to the bottom of drawers and, stuffed in an old suitcase in the attic. Not gobs but a nice little boost. We're betting Joe, who was a master gardener buried stuff in the flower beds. Someday, I'll have the funds to splurge on buying a detector. :)<br /><br />And yes, we all need to find our enthusiasm when we lose it.

LOL<br /><br />LOL, that reminds me of an old Friends episode where Rachel goes running with Phoebe, and Phoebe runs with wild abandon. We should all run like we're kids sometimes. ;o)B.E.

Wonder if we get that show - I will have to check. I love Canadian and American Pickers for their finds - my imagination goes crazy. And they, too, are pretty enthusiastic. <br /><br />Good lesson there - the Bluenose Half Marathon last year had the slogan RUN LIKE YOU ARE 10 YEARS OLD! We need to use that for everything in our lives!!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297537075103893956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076293789081887442.post-45820369672179180572014-03-05T11:04:44.031-06:002014-03-05T11:04:44.031-06:00I've always wanted a metal detector though I d...I've always wanted a metal detector though I doubt there's anything on this land but rusty bolts.
