OK Charlie,,,Yep I get it Honestly.

OK Charlie...YEP I get it Honestly.

Charlie and Eva Jordan
( I love and miss you both.)

For many many...ok for 34 years I have listened to folks pick about how my grandfather (Charlie Jordan)saved EVERYTHING.I know I have made my own comments.
Charlie I think must of had in his mind a need for them already but who really knows.  He always said he would find a use for it somewhere or how. Bolts, screws, lightbulbs, boxes, etc.  And then he had his collection of hats as well.  For those of you who knew him and those of you who did not, he had a lot of hats and some just your basic hats for a business and then some cute or even funny.

( I Will post a pic if i can ever find one of the hats on the ceiling....I know there is one or two out there. Imagine wood beam ceilings and 50 hats per beam..if I am remembering correctly)

Well over the years, As we have cleaned up in the farm house or buildings or been out and about and found something that many would trash I have found myself just laughing and saying ok Charlie... I get it honestly.  The random jokes and  comments have been said when my mom or my aunt or any other person on that side of the family has saved something that should of just been tossed.

There is a phrase.. "One mans junk is a another mans treasure."  I guess this still stands true and I keep finding that I say ughhh not me but then Tony or Payton will ask where something is or only if weh ad something to put this in or seperate this into and I say "oh yeah, I saved this or that , I knew I would need it sometime I just didnt know when."  and then I hear myself saying ok Charlie....or Tony will beat me to it and say it.

Thanks PA (Charlie Jordan) for leaving us a legacy for collecting, smiling, and remembering.  We love you and miss you and I wish my daughter Payton had had the chance to meet you. You two would have gotten into alot of trouble together I am sure.
