We didn't know why all these people were milling about outside our house. It turns out, there was a professionally run estate sale, starting next door at 10:00 AM. The professional shoppers get there in advance to line up for the best stuff. We did not buy anything, but I did walk through the house. It's been vacant for a year, since its occupant fell and broke his hip. He passed away after months in the hospital and rest home. It was fascinating to walk through the house because the whole thing was like a time machine. Everything was old and solidly built. The carpet, wallpaper and furniture all seemed at least 45 years old.
