This little license plate with the name Ethel West age14 on it was nailed upside down over a hole in our old wood floor. Check out my last blog post to see the photo of the tin on the floor. When the guys tore out the old floor they took it out with the rest of the wood to haul it off. The other day when Rick was cleaning up all the leaves in the yard he found a piece of tin on the ground and realized where it came from. Ethel did not want to leave our/her home. The license plate never made it to the truck of rubble that was being hauled to the dump.
If you look closely you can see the year 1959 embossed below her age.
That would make Ethel 70 years old now. I'm going to search to see if we can find her. I strung some string through the holes and placed it on our Christmas tree.
You can see her license plate right in the center of the tree.
I'll share more of our new flooring soon, but I've still got more decorating to do.
I had to put off my Christmas decorations until the new floor was in. We also had a new heating and cooling unit put in before it gets cold here in the midwest. Our weather has been unusually warm for this time of year. How is the weather in your area?
Ah...a mystery! Let us know if you solve it. In the meanwhile it looks great on your tree!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a nifty mystery. Bet your son could get it solved in no time! Wonderful tree topper!
