Jon's cool aunt sent him a bunch of stuff she didn't want anymore, and the movers accidentally gave him an extra box. He called the movers and tried to get the box delivered to its rightful owners, but they didn't seem interested. Its been several months, so we decided to go through the box tonight.

It was a bunch of decorative type stuff, obviously from someone old. There were a few pieces from a tea set, some glass egg-shaped jars, a wooden elephant, a few ashtrays, etc. There were a silver salt and pepper set with the letter C monogramed on them, and a silver bowl engraved with some initials (none of them C), the name of a school, and a thank you for their years of service (1920 something to 1960 something). There were also some picture frames with family photos. It was kind of creepy looking at them. There were two little kids, Ellie and Harrison Holt (names written on the back of the photos), that we are guessing are grandkids. In the bottom of the box there was a sticky note that said "Holt @ Lexington Park, Maryland." We looked them up online, but couldn't find anyone. If you know the Holts of Lexington Park, we have thier tchotkes.
