My idea of treasure and my wife's idea of treasure are two very different things. She has taken a liking to yelling "Treasure!" every time she finds any artifact from the previous owners, including a broken christmas ornament, a bottle of vitamin C, and a child's sock covered in mouse droppings. She seems to get a huge kick out of it.
But I've found my own treasures, including a newspaper from 1976 and some old photos showing the owners enjoying the house in it's better days. We managed to track down a family member and returned the photos to their rightful owners.
Playing archaeologist, she found more "Treasure" outside in the snow, when she should have been overseeing the septic inspection going on in the background!
Good news! The septic is in working order, although it needs a new lid. We'll add that to the task list for this spring.
