Things I Found in the Boxes on the Top Shelf in the Garage

I did some cleaning/reorganizing/purging yesterday in the garage.  Those things should be illegal- garages, I mean.  Or basements, for that matter.  You should not be ALLOWED to store THAT much crap for THAT long.

I really went in to find a long lost Geoboard from my elementary teaching days because Ian told me about how he used one at school and loved it so much...but, alas, I found no Geoboards in my many many boxes.  I did, however, find many interesting things:

*Bryan's Pepsi License to Chill
*An 8th grade class photo
*The book my 4th graders wrote giving tips to my next class (one page is titled How to Suck Up to Your Teacher)
*My prize box from my classroom, complete with 5 year old LifeSavers
*My copy of The Witches, which I used countless times in my class, and I started reading to Ian this morning over breakfast...he loves it so far, but was very concerned that Witches are really REALLY real
*Halloween items that I bought on sale LAST year for use THIS year
*Seven sprinklers
*a box full of baby bottles and sippy cups that were non-BPA free (guess I probably can't sell those now, huh?)
*2 poorly made coffee mugs from my pottery class 6 years ago (8years?  Idk)
*ten thousand glass jars we are saving for honey season (Bryan has very high hopes for a good flow!)
*2 full boxes of wire, various lengths, widths, and purposes
*the case for possibly the world's first portable computer
*the prototype of the 21st century car from the 1991 GM World of Motion brochure from Epcot Center

*Photos of Bryan and his brother Todd in what I can only assume to be Halloween costumes (I hope) when they were about 8

(Todd looks natural in those heels, doesn't he?  Honestly, I don't think I could pull off that look better than that  Bryan, however, looks butch at best.  Sorry, honey.)

Fun stuff.  Also good to free up a couple of shelves in there for more junk that I need space for...*sigh*
