[Magdalen] A kitchen drawer discovery.

hell she was keeping THAT?


Oh, sometimes I toy with the idea of what to *keep* in that category <GDR>

Cleaning out/up after mom  over a 2 year period did leave me with the same 
feeling but it didn't deter me *enough* not to bring stuff home.  Right now 
I look like a hoarder of fabric, books, old photos and (empty) frames.
