It's sad that the things are gone...but now you have the chance to start adding new things to it, for your own kids and grandkids!
Can't you just picture it in a bedroom at your farmhouse, where people can go through it when they visit...spread the contents out on the bed and look at them? It's lost part of it's past, but you can sure give it a future!
Um...its. I knows grammar, I do.
Yes indeed! Maybe I'll have a granddaughter I can give it to!
