The estate Sale

Because I am gay, it is my obligation in order to keep my toaster oven and voting rights that I become involved in the wonderful world of antiques, auctions and estate sales. So I decided to go to my first one today. I got there and got an o.k. #, but soon most of the "good stuff" was gone-McCoy pottery, and some antiques. It was weird-basically walked into the lady's house, and how she left it. There were things all over, and it was very crowded. I had heard that the neighbors had found her. Which was sad, and wierd... wierd in the sense of walking though her house, and going through her things, while she was not there.
I picked up some travel books on Italy and some older rome postcards, and some national geographics. All for 2 bucks. Couldn't resist. When I got back home, and went through it more throughougly I found something distrubing, at least to me: a group photo of a tourist group what appears to be St. Peters Basicilla but I am not sure. Also I have no idea which women i should be looking for ect, but it was/is just kind of odd to have a personal picture of the lady who lived in the house.
I felt if I was a vulture.. looming over prey, and diving down to swoop it up. I felt almost as if a tomb robber-break it, grab it quick and keep on movin'. Maybe, maybe not.
