Christmas Day, our entire family gathered in the living room of my Grandpa’s house to exchange gifts and stories. The children were laughing and climbing all over the furniture and the adults were eating sweets and gossiping when it happened.My aunt Mary screamed at the top of her lungs!Without saying any actual words, she held up her right hand to show everyone the tragedy - she had lost the diamond centerpiece from her engagement ring!Of course the entire family came to her emotional rescue and got down on their hands and knees to search for the valuable gemstone. Although everyone was very eager to find the diamond, we rummaged around the entire room for over twenty minutes and came up short. Then Grandpa got to thinking… he used his best Dumpdiggers tactics to determine the solution to the problem.Grandpa went upstairs and retrieved one of grandmother’s nylon stockings. Next he opened the closet in the hall and fetched out the vacuum cleaner. He fastened the stocking on the end of the vacuum cleaner’s nozzle. When Grandpa turned on the vacuum, about three inches of stocking was sucked up inside the nozzle, and out of sight. But Grandpa didn’t care - he applied suction to the entire carpet, and the chair in which Mary had been sitting…After six minutes, when Grandpa finally turned off the blessed machine, the diamond presented itself inside a lint ball of dust and cat hair, in the nozzle, sparkling brighter than ever on the surface of Grandma’s nylon stocking. dumpdiggers.blogspot.comDumpdiggers chronicles the adventures of a low tech treasure hunter that researches and recovers historically valuable antiques and collectibles from forgotten heritage sites all over Canada and the United States Rob_CampbellSitemap

wrote this tribute to my Father five years ago. At the time, we had just found out that my father was in the beginning states of Alzhiemers. Today, my father is bed-ridden and mentally disabled due to the complications of the disease. I reprise this tribute to him here because the things I said about him five years ago are still as applicable today.This Saturday, Feb. 8, my father, Noe Cadena, will celebrate his 74th birthday. Dad has never been much for parties or birthdays. He has never wanted that much attention or adoration. Not that he doesn’t merit or deserve both in vast amounts. It’s just that Dad has always carried himself with a quiet, strong, self-assurance that makes him a giver, not a receiver.Dad was a great athlete as a young man, growing up in Falfurias Texas. He was an over-achiever who made up for his lack of size with speed, quickness, determination and thinking. He made State honorable mention in football, at a time when there were no class divisions, which meant he was recognized as one of the best in the state, period.Sitemap
