The attic...

The previous owners left a lot of stuff in the attic, so over the last few weeks we've been trying to spend extra time cleaning out many boxes of papers, clothes, and random things stashed up there for 50 years!

 Most of the boxes and bags used to store things have disintegrated, leaving piles of plastic flecks amongst the contents.

We haven't found any lost treasures yet, but  we have come across a few interesting things, like a Life magazine from a week after JFK was assassinated.

And some parts to a Polaroid camera.

And some call notes from 1958.

Another cool find was Life from a few weeks after Neil walked on the moon in 1969! We set this aside to keep.

After filling 20 contractor-sized trash bags, we're probably 65% done...
