We recently stopped by an estate sale. That's what they called it anyway. Both parents were alive and kicking. In fact, it was the strangest estate sale that we had ever been to. They had an amazing number of antiques and treasures that we could see anyway, but no customers. Their signs were not visible unless you were turning down their dirt road and the print was tiny, but this was not the strange part.
We learned more about the situation with their parents, and I think that the grown children were just overwhelmed by the circumstances that they found themselves living in. I don't think they were prepared for the enormity of the task at hand and therefore were unable to put forth the effort that would produce the best results.
I found this Griswold cast iron square pan #768 inside a Conex trailer right inside the door. The Conex was clean and well organized, but I didn't dare venture further inside the trailer for my own safety after a very strange warning from the son. This is where the strange came in.
The pan is in great condition and after a good scrubbing I made a pan of cornbread. We paid $15 bucks for it which was apparently a great price. I had no idea!
I don't think that they should have been having an estate sale under the circumstances. I won't go into any more details. The world sure is a messed-up place!
