Have you ever found something at your house that you didn't know you had? I was looking for something in an armoire in my bedroom this morning and saw two boxes and didn't know what was in them. Got one out and it's a George Bush doll with him in his military pilot suit and around him are all the items a military pilot would have on him. There is a parachute, water bottle, helmet with all the oxygen tubes and another pair of hands, the right one with the thumbs up sign. There is a radio and more equipment a pilot would have. The bill is also there and I paid $40 for this doll in 2003. He and the equipment are behind a clear plastic cover and it hasn't been opened to get to the doll or pieces. I wonder how much this might be worth today.

There was another box and I got it out. I absolutely don't remember this and it had never been taken out of the box. It's a colorful ceramic cowboy boot cookie jar. It's about a foot tall, very colorful and has a ceramic lid on top that looks like the straps a boot has to pull it on. I'll bring that downstairs and put it where it can be seen. I have no idea where I got that or when.

What else lurks around here that I don't know I have? Have you been surprised like that?

Yes. I usually ask them to leave.

Considering Bushes popularity is rising and the Boy King is falling, it may just bring a few bucks, especially if you paired it with a doll of Choom Gang Barry.

Surprised often, when something is found, that has been
forgotten.
