The Attic

You ever seen GOONIES?

I know, I know that movie is as old as I am!  But that's another thing I got from Uncle Nick. A love for all things 80's!!  He always used to say that he loved everything from the 80's Everything that even looks like the 80's... He said that he loved the movies, the music, the hairstyles,, but above all else, he loved me. Then I'd say that he was the sweetest, kindest, bestest uncle I had.  It always ended with him reminding me that he's my ONLY uncle..  was my only uncle.. I've really got to STOP crying sometime! 
Anyway, the Goonies.  I finally made my way to the top of the stairs and into the Attic.  It was like the scene straight of the movie where the kids go up and find all kinds of crap laying around everywhere they are gawking and laughing.  THAT's Uncle Nick's attic.  well... it's mine now....
GEEZ louise. these tears!! 
OKAY... THIS attic is just like that, except I don't even have room to wander around and gawk at this place. I'm going to have to clean just to have room to get up here and clean. So, I got as far as I could this afternoon.  The boxes immediately around the attic door were filled with books.  REALLY BIG.  REALLY HEAVY BOOKS!  I really need to get to the gym.  I had to unpack the books and carry them down 8-10 at a time.  These books... they were from everywhere, about every topic under the sun.
