How Long Do You....

How long do you keep things? Everything becomes sentimental to me. Especially if my grandchildren made it. I have all kinds of things tucked here and there that are so old, but I'm "saving" them.

The wooden "thing" next to the bird house is an example. What do you think it is?

It's a horse. My oldest grandson made it twenty years ago. It is made from old scraps of wood he found in my husband's barn. He painted it too, but the paint has washed off over these years. Our neighbor across the road came over to look at it and nailed it to this light pole. My grandson was about four years old when he made it.

One day my husband was cleaning up and he decided that thing would be thrown away. When I found out, I threw a royal "hissy fit". He went back and nailed it again to the light pole. Its still there today.
