I was too tired to blog yesterday. I just looked at some blogs. I went to bed at 11 and I slept through the night. the children stayed here and this morning Adda fetched them to take them to school and play school. I hardly noticed and when a awoke I hardly knew where I was.
I started with the swimming and practicing and at 1pm I started emptying the kitchen.
My x daughter in law Adda got the coffee machine and the toaster. They were both new. She took some other small things.
I put all the things in cartons on the corridors and living rooms floor. I run out of cartons and had to stop.
My uncle Gunnar and Þóra his wife came. I had summoned them. They lived in the house for some years when they were newly weds.
Mum had been collecting stones and Gunni took a few. Þóra got a few plates and pictures of her own kids. They did not take much. I wanted them to take what ever they wanted.
Later in the evening I came back to the house. Pálmi had summond a young co worker and his wife.
They got a painting that my uncle painted . I have so many that I can’t fit any more in my home. They also got some kitchen utensils. They took a full carton box and am I glad that I could give it away.
Then I will give the rest  to a shop which sells it for a small price and uses the money for charity.
The dining room table, chairs and buffet are going to a young foreigner which is a co worker of Pálmi.
The sofa table to an other co worker.
My son Beggi said, mamma why don’t you sell these things. I´ve never sold anything for my self, I rather give it a way. I won’t ever become rich but I have enough for my self and I don’t see that I’m better off getting some money for these things.
The kitchen table is an old American steal table. The chairs to it are worn out completely. I will throw it way. This is a kind of table I often see in American movies.
In a cabinet two days ago I found some things concerning my grand dad. These are the last of the letters I´ve been reading since last summer. As this bog is long now I will blog about it later. Now I better get some things done.

    I'd like to see the table too!
     
    I'm thinking it's something from the 1950's. 
     
    That's great that you had friends and family come to take things.  So nice of you to donate to the charity. 
     
    When does the young man intend on moving in, or start working on it?

    Just what I thought it would be!  I find those in antique shops around here a lot...well, when I used to shop for antiques and leave my house! 
     
    Thanks for the picture!

    Skald its always good to read your posts. I feel as if I m right there with you. Thanks for the pic of the table....like daily it s exactly what I envisioned. I suggest you might want to give it to someone who appreciates retro things if you arent willing to sell it. Just as daily mentioned those 50s chrome tables are very collectible here and I would suspect there as well.

    botini. I´ll give it a thought and if I find someone who wants a 50's tabel I´ll give it away.
