As i had said before, i am back home where i grew up. Well, my aunt had passed a few years earlier and i got a call the other day from her son who lives 3 hours away. He asked me to go check on the old house and put the word out it is for sale. Got the key and checked on it. Everything was ok as expected. I called him and talked a while about the house and what to do with some of the items left in it. He wound up giving my daughter his old wood and glass 6 gun cabinet. Actually made out of real wood and glass instead of particle board and plexyglass. No lock on the door--just a nice old piece of work. We hauled it home and she now has it in her bedroom with some guns in it. Would not allow her to put her rem 1100 in it. Just some low end .22's and h&r. Paranoid about gun displays and burglary---even though there has not been a house burglary reported in this town yet this year. Gave her the lecture about being paticular about who she has over and all it takes is one innocent friend to open her mouth to the wrong set of ears and have something bad happen.
Still--it sure put those h&r's and old marlin .22's in a different light/setting and made them look-----just plain right.
I still remember my Daddy's yellow pine gun cabinet. My brother got it after Daddy passed. My brother passed last December and now his boy has it. Think i'll go and visit and remember..........
