Hi everyone!
We checked with a furrier here in Bainbridge about Grandmas mink stole, to see if it was in good shape. Turns out, it isn't. It has quite a few tears (in the seams) and is dried out. She said she couldn't use it for anything, and we probably couldn't get more that $20 on ebay for it. That makes me sad, Dad was so proud to get it for mom. Who would like to have it? I'll hold on to it until I hear back.

The Jones' are at PostNet today, still disassembling, throwing away, and generally trying to decide what to do with ALL this stuff!! A huge thanks to Chris, Brad and Nick who have helped more than I can say. Yesterday Brad and Chris worked really hard, while Bob and I attended the temple, may they be blessed for their efforts. Today Nick and Brad are taking slat wall down. Everything is fun with power tools. Funny boys. If things don't sell on the auction, we'll rally in the troups to help move everything to storage. Naturally we hope alot sells, for alot of reasons.

Thank you all for your prayers and support. Bob gives me the "things are going to be fine" look all of the time. I'm grateful for his strength and faith.

Love all around!
Jeni

Okay, the mink has tares, not tears, it's been a long week :)

No I think you are right the first time.
Minnich's aren't interested in the mink. I know what you mean, though. I remember her wearing it to a few occasions. She looked beautiful.

Does anyone want the mink?
