My dad died the 13th of last month. The junk drawer was in the same place in the kitchen as when I was a kid. A few things were taken out of it over the last couple of years, very few.

I was surprised to realize that it really was just junk. When I was a kid there MAY have been more in it and I DID consider it treasure back then but my mom and dad were post depression babies so they saved everything.

I do remember robbing it of twist ties off of bread bags. Mom saved those for whatever they could be used and this boy found lots and lots of uses for them.
