“Now that we’ve taken the walls down to the studs, remind me…what are we looking for?”
“Great grandad’s last will and testament, stupid!”
“And why would it be hidden in the walls?”
“Because he was always stuffing pieces of paper in random slits in the walls. Slits he’d just randomly slice with an ax.”
“I hate to keep asking…but was he a nut case or something?”
“Or something. Eccentric is what grandma called her dad.”
“So why do you think he had any money to inherit?”
“He won a Power Ball. He never spent a dime of it.”
“I’m in!”

I can understand that no-one wanted to be close to that axe-man when he was alive…

There’s hidden treasure…and then there’s…”hidden treasure.” We can all partake of the second…if we look within ourselves…and at all we have in the way of…loved ones…cherished moments and memories…and doing what makes us happy. However, a little bit of the first…never hurts. 😉

So many people of “the older generation” did stuff like that. I wonder how much inheritance money has been given to the Goodwill in books. Great take on the prompt.

I’ve heard of local cases, the most recent being 3 college roommates who purchased a couch for their apartment from Goodwill. It contained thousands of dollars which were returned to the rightful owner. I think they got some recompense for their honesty. Yyyeeeaaayyy for honest folks…

LOL. Yeah, that would do it! And if they never do find the will, but do find some small bills, well… 😉

After ripping apart a house, I’d be glad to find coins. Well, maybe they’d have to be…gold coins…Spanish ones from some pirate captain’s booty. 😉

Every so often we take a chance on a Powerball Lottery…knowing full well the chances are slimmer than slim…if even that. Glad I could bring some fun to the equation. That’s always worth something…
