Rob was outside today cleaning off his bike using one of the rain barrels - the pressure was just right - and someone came around the corner. It was the grandchild of the original owners of the house. This would make the person also the nephew of the owner before us.
Rob gave him a tour. The nephew remembered the place so well that Rob didn't need to show him around - he had fun though explaining some of the stuff that we did and pointing out what is original. The guy remembered sleeping upstairs in the small room with his grandparents across the hall. Apparently our renovations get a thumbs up.
Since I missed meeting him, I am hoping that his brother comes back for a tour as well. I want to give them the old door knocker with their family name on it that I kept (packed away somewhere).

That's pretty cool!
Hope you get a chance to pass along the piece of family history to them sometime too.
