WWC: A Mystery Unfolds

Courtesy of Odd Mix, the words are Mystery and Missing.

Willi and I found the neatest place to spend an afternoon during our last trip to Louisville. Walking through the maze of rooms at Architectural Salvage is like unlocking a mystery, one step at a time.

Everything from drawer pulls and drawers to door knobs, door hinges, and even doors was lined up by size, shape, style and color.

There were light fixtures, lamps, chandelier, candelabra and candle holders; things to light them with and things to put them out.

The only limit to what you might find is really the amount of time you can spend looking.

Although help was there for the asking, the fun was definitely in the hunt.

After winding around through the many rooms and floors we found that the mystery continued on through the house next door...

...out through the back, down the stairs and onto the lawn where you would find all sorts of ornaments, benches, fountains and faldera.

So next time you're in Louisville, time and inclination permitting, here is a great place to look for adventure and treasure.

I can't think of anything that was missing; not even the kitchen sink!

3. One of dad's traits I admired was: that he found joy in the little things. My rememberings are of a man who really had a pretty good outlook despite some pretty serious health issues. I don't really remember him being idle very much; he usually had either a tool or fishing rod in his hand. Doing things that others may have considered chores made him happy. I also remember that he liked coming home from work. Each evening at 5:30 he would come in the back door and whistle the same four notes. You could set the clock by it. So much so, that my mom could have dinner on the table as he walked up the stairs. Now that is a pleasant remembering that I had forgotten about.
