3. I always wanted to dig the garbage heap at the farm my mother grew up

on. Her family had been there in Nova Scotia for 2-3 generations at least. The stuff they threw out then would have lasted as stuff did that was made out of glass or tin. The organic stuff would have become earth. A friend's family owned a second farm down the road from their farm in Quebec. My friend and i walked around the house and found some interesting stuff in that farm's old junk pile. I can't remember what but it sparked an interest in me. I did get a tour of the farm my mom grew up on one day though. My wonderful aunt organized it with the new owners but refused to walk through the house with us as it was too emotional for her. Nice to have the memory of where my mom grew up even if I don't have a glass bottle to remember my ancestors with.
