eroded! LMAO ROFL Sorry, but that just struck me as too hilarious, at 4 am.....

as to the hairy appendage.....That's was happens when you touch a toupee that isnt yours...I hope the guy learned his lesson! ;)

You sure that isnt OY ? Looking at it now, it almost looks like oy in the middle. It had to have been a learning tool, for reading,spelling,phonics, or just plain communicating.

luv it.

Did u see any playing boards at all?
I tried to look up the history of scrabble, but no mention of EE or OO or OU.......Maybe it was that particular place's addition to the normal game.
I would luv a box of asst. ones, omg, make a tributary mosiac out of them, oh what a thing to look at and mull over at all the hands that must have touched them. Wonder if fingerprint powder might pick up some, LOL, just fer giggles :D

I think it is possible, they have been forgotten. Otherwise, wouldnt it have been cleaned, or swept, items straightened, etc, I would if it was my family place, and I knew about it. Just like now when a person goes and picks the weeds around a headstone, puts in flowers maybe, brushes off the flat-level stones in the ground.....Obviously, no one has been there for quite sometime.

The square cutout in the box would have been a viewing window, would it not? I personally think I would be totally enamored and saddened by finding this and done what I could to tidy it up a bit. Would have tried to find the nameplate or small decoration that is missing from that other close-up pic. I also, like to think I would never touch the viewing portal, but then again, might be tempted since that is in essence what it was for, though by family. But in taking over just a little upkeep, even if temporary, I would sort of associate myself with that family and its history. I would be living at the historical society or library, town hall, etc trying to figure out the who's, what's, where's, and whatnots of that family line as far to the present as possible. I love history, archeology, and the like, so when I get drawn to something or someone, I sorta get cramped vision as to anything else, until the curiosity is fulfilled.
Sorry so long, didnt intend it to be, I swear it!

what in the world would have happened to that poor tree? how strange.

oooookay....now that is messed up.....I think I am gonna go check on my 5 kids.....that is just creepy. :D LOL

Eyes drawn towards the white strip in the center of the floor, made me think, *Highway to Hell* .
