Grandpa Merritts House - upstairs

Here's blog #2...read the instructions in GRANDPA MERRITTS HOUSE - OUTSIDE (in bold, below)

...AGAIN please let me know of anything you may want ... don't feel like you are being selfish or piggish...what isn't chosen goes to Deseret Industries or in the trash.  IF you want to look at something close up, call me and I will meet you at the house.


 Instead of trying to pick a day for every one to meet at the house, with everyone's busy schedules, and distance, etc., we decided it would be more fair for us to post the pictures of stuff online and let YOU choose what you might be interested in.   PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE choose anything and everything you might like.  Then let me know....

If several of you want ONE particular item we will draw for it.  If you get one large item, and there is another large item you are interested in, let me know that too.  We will 'share the wealth' among all...as equally as we can.  Probably once we get all the items listed, and spoken for, then Jeff, Kelly, Susan and Bruce will all get together and pull the names out of the hat  for you grandkids.  If YOUR kids want something, then list it among the things that you want...greats come after grands....

Grandpa Merritts House - outside stuff

We are cleaning out Grandpa's house getting it ready to sell.  This is a difficult blog to write ...and probably a difficult one to read.  Kelly, Jeff, Bruce and I met up at Dad's house a couple of weeks ago and kind of picked out what stuff we wanted.  So now, we are giving the grandkids a chance to say WHAT they want.   Instead of trying to pick a day for every one to meet at the house, with everyone's busy schedules, and distance, etc., we decided it would be more fair for us to post the pictures of stuff online and let YOU choose what you might be interested in.   PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE choose anything and everything you might like.  Then let me know....

I hope this sounds fair to you.  I went up to the house today and started taking pictures...the batteries on my camera went dead after I took the outside pictures and most of the main floor.  So I will take pictures of the basement stuff and post them another day.  I will also divide this post into two ... upstairs items and outside items.  So keep checking back until I say we have posted pictures of everything.  Some pictures will have several items in them.  They don't/won't go as a group....individual choices.
