I found this picture in the basement (one of the many things left behind in the house) and thought, hmm. How would Edgar Guest have said this on Talk Like a Pirate Day? Well, hey! It IS Talk Like a Pirate Day! So let's see:
Mateyship
-That scallywag, Edgar Guest-
A glad arrrr an' a hearty grip
Be th' first beginnings o' mateyship
An' Father Time in his kindly way
Bends us closer tide by tide
We grow from th' smile an' th' kindly hand
T' know each other an' understand
An' I hope some tide ye will find in me
Th' faithful matey that I want t' be
Ya horn swollgin' scallywag!

"He started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn'tbe done and he did it"
"It takes a heap o' livin' in a house to make it a home"
Edgar Albert Guest. Used to write in the Chicago American in the 40s.

Holy cow, you guys had (have?) a TON of stuff in that house. Reminds me of ours....in fact, I think you posted a comment on one of my posts about how to handle the karma factor of selling and/or giving away a whole bunch of stuff that came with the house.
