2025 OneThing #52 - Share pics of glassware w/ family

I've learned my lesson! I can only choose my own thoughts, words, and actions. 

 

I still have most of the three boxes of glassware that Louie took out of the garage rafters a few weeks ago. They were items he had packed up from his parents' home after his mother died. We selected a few items that we especially liked and then I set out and photographed the rest in batches. I shared the pictures in a Google pics album and shared the link with his siblings and all the grandkids. About half of the items have been claimed! 

I removed those images from the album and now plan to share the album link with his cousins. Whatever is still left over after people have requested pieces will be donated to a thrift shop. Louie thinks some of the pieces may have been his Grandma Lilly's, so I want to be sure any sentimental ties are taken care of.

My son Alex thought the green glass might have been uranium glass, but I tested it with Louie's black light (yes, we own one!) and it is just green glass.

So I still HAVE all this glassware, but half of it is boxed up to go to other people. (Note I didn't make the goal to get rid of all the glassware; just to share images of it.) I'm getting there!

We also donated the hospital bed to a couple from Sioux Falls, SD. A different person came to pick up the plastic office chair mat thing. Today I will connect with someone in Richfield who really wants the Rollator-style walker. Progress!
