Things That Make Ya Go.... Hmmmmmmm.

I've written about this... a couple of times, over the last few years.

Above... are the latches on the Old...Old... Walnut Food Safe, that actually came from a 

Home/Farm... Dad lived at near North Liberty, Iowa..in the 1940's.

The Cupboard is Huge. Very deep, and close to 8 feet tall.

Fairly narrow, maybe 3 feet wide.

One Piece.

It dates from when the first Home was built on the Farm, 1850's.

All hand constructed from native Walnut.

It's a Very Special... Cupboard, knowing... that Dad had ties to it.

There's quite a story... that brought the two of us together.

that's... for another day.

: )

What makes me go... "Hmmmmmmmm...", is...

every now and then...

Two of the doors will be hanging open, when I get up in the morning.

On one occasion.... All 4 Door's were standing Wide Open.

Had the Horse... a Big Belt, and Sleigh Bells.... hanging on the top doors, from both latches.

Not One Item Fell.

They were all... just resting on the single latch of the right hand top door.

{I couldn't make them 'balance'... on 'One' latch, for All of The Tea In China!!

I believe many will affirm, I can make some things... balance, that seem impossible to them, but...

 Trust Me, I know better than anyone... when I can't begin... to. ; ) }

Hmmmmmmmm.

Here's The Deal...

I've had Countless.... Early Cupboards, over the years.

Once in a Blue Moon, we'd get one.... in... where a door wouldn't want to stay latched.

Usually because they had a spring type of cast latch, and the spring was weak.

Or...

because over the many, many... decades, the wood had shrunk. There's too far of a reach for the latch to catch.

again...

Neither are 'The Deal'... with this Old Soul.

; )

The cast latches, are a 'Bar' type.

The Bar fits Tightly... in the receiving side.

no...

Springs.

Tight Fit.

Hmmmmmmm.

again...

this morning, the Top Left Door, was hangin' Open.

The Bottom Left Door, was also.

; )

Maybe... Dad's Givin' me a Wink.

"Hang In There... Door's Are Gonna Open."
