This made me laugh, Bonnie ! My dad ran a "Salvage Yard" as his occupation.....he was the "Junk Man" , and my mom would go down to the "yard", walk around, and point at things, saying, 'Hans ! I want that at home !", "Hans ! drop that off at home !", or something similar. Dad would shake his head and say, "if it's rusty...it's just junk !, But, paint it white and put it in the front yard, and then it's "art' !" We had LOTS of "art" at our house, and when they 'retired', and moved to Arkansas....it ALL had to go with them! AND, when they "moved back home", 29 years later......you guessed it ! I made three trips with the truck and trailer, ....hauling "art"!
