Hit the Photo Jackpot at Grandma's House

[TylerH860]

My 78 year old grandmother's organizational system has never been great. Everything from clothes, photo albums, to canned food is mingled together in various closets throughout her sprawilng home. As wealthy as she is, her depression era upbringing conditioned her to never throw anything away.

I took it upon myself yesterday to attempt to organize one of her closets, and came across an interesting looking album marked 1985. I took a brief moment to look through the album, and realized I had just found something I had been searching for most of my life.

Towards the middle of the album, one page was titled:
Summer 1985: Flew down to Houston to visit Mary Sue (her sister) and pick up my new Mercedes.

She is describing the 500 SL I have now; a grey market import that came off the boat in Houston. I will scan in some of the pictures for everyone to see later. Its pretty amazing.
