This journey will take us deep into the state of Illinois, where we discovered the forgotten house of the family Smith. Around six decades ago, Glen and Dorothy immigrated from their home country Germany to the United States, where they started a completely new life as traditional honey farmers. Glen was the director of a large bank in Berlin, and this new world was far from where he was original. It remains entirely unclear to us why they made this life-changing decision. Since they moved from Germany, they lived all their lives in this house, accompanied by their loving daughter Glenda. Unfortunately, she chose not to follow in their footsteps and pursue a career in nursing. This proved helpful later in life because Glen passed away early and Dorothy resided in bad health for the last years of her life. The hospital was far away from their remote house, but luckily, Glenda was able to take care of her and made her last years more enjoyable. After her mother passed away Glenda continued living inside the house, she never had a husband or children and passed away in relative loneliness in the year 2005 leaving the house abandoned forever. Since the passing of Glenda, the house has remained abandoned and acts as a time capsule into their past lives, with every single item still remaining inside its forgotten walls.
Today, we will take you on a tour around what has been left behind, and we will tell you the story of their lives.

What struck me is how humbly they lived and Glenda devoted her life to service. RIP
Out of all the channels I recently discovered on abandoned homes, you guys have the most empathy. Your mothers taught you well.
Exactly!
Amen to that!
I adore Leslie, he is so thorough, and so respectful of the people and their past. Keep up the good work!!!
They just letting these houses go to Waze
Glenn passed away in 2008. His wife was Grace, and she passed away in 1999. Glenda is still alive and lives in another city in Illinois.
If Glenda is still alive she is a poor executor of the estate. I hate it when family do not complete closing an estate. Sad and disrespectful to the owners, her parents.
Then why didn’t she clear the house ?
@@alexandraspinelli9309 maybe she a proud woman and dont want to ask for help. But it is sad all that stuff is going to waste. I know when i get to where im at the last years of my life im going to give everything to my granddaughters and son. I have alot of things from when we lived in germany. Things that were my fathers and mothers. I have the blanket that was covering my mum when she passed from cancer. I have an Afghan my grandmother crocheted before she passed. Lots of pictures. And all my ACDC stuff. Albums cds tapes 8 track s.

I researched and came to this same conclusion..They also had another daughter named Darlene that passed before them and a son named William that lives in Oregon
Glenda Mae Schmidt was born in December 1952 which explains the upstairs 1952 calendar in the dressing room/closet type room. Uncertain if she's still practicing, but she was a psychiatric (of the mind) nurse practitioner (specializing in writing prescriptions), which also explains one particular study book.. "She's positively still alive today.". According to my research, there is a gentleman of 102 year old relative named Glenn still living in Illinois today; although I don't know who he is?
Glenda Mae Schmidt did have a sister who's now deceased, and a brother still living.
The color photo is of Glenda from 1970's. Color photos in America have been in existence since 1935, and due to pricey development costs, only began popularity in the 1950's. But still today, many photographers still enjoy and prefer the traditional standard of black and white.
This old farmhouse was a fabulous discovery, thank you for sharing! ♥️🙏🏼😉
Thanks for the info! Greetings from germany
Great research, Brandy Carter! How could you find out so many details about Glenda and her family? - It's really amazing!
Just makes me very sad to see the decay of the house and all the memories left behind....and with 70 years, Glenda isn't that old. Isn't she alive? I wish she was....
Thank you for sharing your research. My parents also emigrated from Europe after world war 2 and lived long happy lives in Canada. My father was a commanding officer in the Canadian military and unfortunately they both passed away a few years ago. I was the executor of their estate and there was miles of red tape documentation I had to deal with so I'm wondering who did that for the estate of Miss Schmidt? I find it hard to believe she didn't have a will which leads me to believe she is in fact still alive. There's bank accounts, property deeds, business accounts, subscriptions, etc. All of these things seem to be taken care of. Hopefully we can find more information. Thanks again and god bless.
@Nicky L Thank you, Nicky!
@@sabi5833 ;
Yes indeed, I'm happy to share that Glenda is absolutely amongst the living and very much alive today!
Researching the many whom I find myself compassionately concerned, it is often a lengthy enjoyable process of discoveries into their lives. I begin with Google and then following any and all leads that it takes me to. I've a great love for human life prior to, and long after their earthly existence, so to hopefully learn that they had, and still may possibly be living a fulfilling life. I'm an individual desiring to also discover the hopeful "happily ever after" of people; often living vicariously through my findings of them. Life is such a beautiful and precious gift that we can never take for granted, which is usually what I continue to relearn.
It too saddens my heart to see the poor home and left treasure's behind...I can't imagine what obstacles occurred in their lives to allow anyone to desert so many material objects that can often bring forth priceless memories; unless of course, some memories are better left alone and in a past of darkness and decay?
Blessings to you and yours forever always.
♥️🙏🏼😉
The pink sheet in the upstairs bedroom was a chenille bedspread. If you sat on it, when you got up you would had lint on you . The basket in the same bedroom was a sewing basket and it would hold needles, scissors, buttons etc . The car you found downstairs was a rewinder for vhs tapes .It saved wear and tear on the actual vcr . RCA was one of your better television companies . The Ball canning jars are still one of the most popular canning jars and there was a shortage of jars this past year . Lids and rings for the jars are hard to come by .
I love the way you try to figure out our American brand names and things we used to use. You are so funny without meaning to be, and my favorite saying "I'm going to put it back nicely", and you always do. You are very respectful and I always wonder what's going to happen to all those beautiful things.
This home made me very sad. I am sure that once upon a time that the people who lived here had a beautiful life and after their only child died there was no one to keep the memories alive.
The wood in this house is beautiful! Thank you both for the tour.
Glenda is alive, they also have a son that lives in Oregon
My goodness you both have done it again! You’re so funny but in the most kind and respectful ways 😊 i love how the fridge got the both of you 😂 I would bet that those homeowners were proud of the job you’ve done telling their stories and showing their beautiful home to all of us! Thank you so much!!! ❤ x
And the wind up music boxes had me laughing! When they are upstairs and that music box starts, Lesley’s face was priceless. 😂
I'm sure many people have said this by now but at least in the Catholic tradition, the dried plants you're seeing tucked behind photo frames are dried palms from Palm Sunday mass, which is the Sunday before Easter. My family would do the same thing when I was growing up, we'd bring the palms home and tuck them behind photo frames.
This is such a lovely explore, and this is quickly becoming my favorite Urbex channel. Keep it up guys!
My mom sometimes forms them into crosses.
The RCA brand is one of the oldest and well known brands in the consumer electronics industry. The brand was derived from an acronym for the company Radio Corporation of America, which was a major electronics company in existence from 1919 to 1986.

I bought an RCA TV in 1993. Still have it and it still works.
@@SomewhereInTheMaidenverse Me too!!
@@valeriealvis7740 I bought one in 2012 because it was an RCA 😂
@@valeriealvis7740 Mybad that was a Zenith 😩🤣
You, your channel has such a lovely way of presenting the story of the people and the houses that you explore and show us . thank you so much ❤
Thank you for sharing such a amazing, but heartbreaking story.
Shocked it’s in USA and untouched.
A little evidence of youths or teenagers goofing around inside (the broken table like a fat guy sat on the side, and the broken picture)
Thank you for sharing the stories of the people that lived in these homes. You are very respectful with the way you treat their homes, their stories and the pictures/personal belongings that have been left behind. You are not invasive or intrusive. You are paying homage to the families by giving us a glimpse into their lives.
Leslie and Danny! Seriously guys, another beautifully crafted documentary! This beautiful simple farm home was fascinating. I could picture Glenda pulling down boxes of old Christmas decorations and placing them around the house. I hope she was able to really enjoy her last Christmas. Thank you guys for being so kind and respectful with these old places. I can't wait till the next adventure.
As always another amazing video!! I always find it so very saddening when you go exploring in these homes where all of their belongings and all of their many happy memories that were once made, are just left behind to rot away inside their deteriorating home....just heartbreaking 😢
It's so cool watching you Guys trying to figure things out.The pointed thing in the attic was an oil can you would use in small places like a sewing machine.Talented ladies lived there,the croched and quilted bed covers.some of the clothes with lace etc A very nice home 👍❤️🇺🇸
Been watching you guys for years and was thrilled to see you exploring so close to where I live! I would have loved to host you! So glad you guys are traveling and showing us these treasures from all over the world 💙
I'm I'm western NY and felt the same when I found they had been near. Would love to find people to explore with....an interest I've had for decades
A true gem. Thank you for telling their story so beautifully and respectfully.
I think you are lucky you have Danny, with you. He seems to be very helpful,in helping you out what something is. And how you use it.
Love how respectful you are, and that corn item you found on the dresser actually used to contain lotion my grandmother had the same one when I was a little kid.
Yes indeed! The glass corn cob was a lotion dispenser. I bought one in my 20s in the 1970s from Avon. Remember them? ☺️ Later I bought the glass coffee pot. Looked like the old tin blue speckled coffee pots. Kept them both in my kitchen windows. When they ran out of the Avon lotion I would fill them with Jergens! What a walk down memory lane. Thank you guys!!
Americans are uniquely known for their quilts. Each bed in this home was covered with one, individually made from cloth scraps. Today, there are some that sell for tens of thousands of $!
What you young men do is special and very respectful and maybe just maybe God has chosen you whether you know or understand, to put these beautiful places back into the face of the world and maybe just maybe some of the people who are somehow at ratchet to these stories may come back and give these wonderful places a new beginning. At least I am hopeful! God Bless you boys!!! A grandmother from Florida 🇺🇸 USA!
❤❤
Sure would be nice wouldn’t it?
Wow unbelievable! So many things untouched. Great job! That Glenda and his family may rest in peace with heavenly father.
Bravo Leslie! You and Danny did a brilliant job! Thank you both.
May Glenn and Grace or dorothy ,,,be at peace .they sound like they were lovely people. I am an RN and took care of my parents before they passed . God bless you Glenda
Hei Bros! This photo is very cute!I'm looking forward to hearing the history of the people who lived in this house. You as always giving life to the abandoned houses. This is very good, because with this video you don't let this story be lost in memory. Applause for this episode!!!
🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@simonaconstatinescu6818 Well, aren’t you just a little ray of sunshine.
Hi, I'm Cindy and I'm an Empath. The whole time I was watching your video I knew the people that had lived and died there were totally happy to have you tell their story. I love how respectful you are and you havea great sense of humor. I'm in the States, Michigan, and I will definitely keep watching!
The music is their way of letting you know 😀
Are There Kids Alive
@Lauren Gregg Yes, Glenda is alive, they also have a son William who lives in Oregon
Thank you Cindy you are a blessing ❤
You can feel them following them around and smiling. For sure they are still there.
I still do a lot of canning.The vinegar you use to make pickles ,peppers etc .The old washing machine ,is a great thing,I used to wash my husband's coal mining clothes.The. house is a wonderful time capsule.Hello guys from Oklahoma USA.Some homes still look like this.🤗👍❤️🇺🇸
ماشاء الله... المرأة المثاليه.
Absolutely amazing documentary.. I love seeing all the vintage stereos, antique furniture, quilts , and old photos. It is so sad to see that no one wanted this cozy home. She must have been a visiting nurse , too. It was neat to see her nursing books. That beautiful teal dress with hat :) Love it ! Keep it up Lesley and Danny!
Hi how are you doing?
Same here the documentary is awesome as well ❤,hi Carey how are you doing with your family I do hope you’re safe from the virus?
Same here with me I enjoy watching documentaries. Hi Carey how are you doing with your family I do hope you’re safe from the virus?
I love what you two guys have done, honouring those humble people. I'm very sad for Glenda if she died alone in that house. I say "if" because according to the research of Brenda Carter in a comment below, she's still alive somewhere in Illinois. She spent her life caring for others, and it makes my chest hurt to think she died unloved and alone in that house. If anyone deserved/deserves a loving companion in life, she did/does. Guys, are you certain she's dead?

so nice to see young ppl so respectful, keep it up . love your video's
Hi Lesley & Danny. Great video loved it. At 17:34 the car on the T.V. was used to rewind VHS tapes, people used those so they didn't wear out their VCRs. At 56:28 the item in the Mail Box is an Oil Can. Jeff - Michigan, USA
Thank you for sharing this with us. I appreciate how respectful you are with the lives of these people. Best to you with your ongoing adventures. I hope your hearts remain places of kindness, respect and love.
Always like to imagine when the house was first built and how excited they must have been to live there. The wallpaper was fresh and everything was most likely very clean. They must have had a comfortable life. Nice to know that Glenda is still alive and only 70 yrs of age. I think she would approve of how you documented her old home and would probably love to have a copy.
Leslie, Your enthusiasm with this place is contagious. This looks as if this was a wonderful family . How about the dog bowl in the kitchen. Any pics of the dog around? Great job Danny and Leslie. Thank you …. Leslie, You see the Morton Salt container in the kitchen. We always keep two in the kitchen. It is said the Morton Salt containers are good luck.
The dried leaves behind the picture frame are Palm leaves from Palm Sunday. Traditionally celebrated the Sunday before Easter.
Hey, Lesley. The little car on top of the TV was a VHS tape rewinder. A lot of people had them back in the 80's and 90's. Mason jars are used for honey (like you said) or also for making fruit preserves, pickles, etc.
Thank you for showing respect . Y’all are very careful with their things.
Great explore Lesley.. The ambience of the bedrooms are lovely and peaceful. The nurse had her priorities right and especially in taking care of her elder family members and I hope she had someone to take care of her in her final days. Michelob beer and console stereos that weighed a ton were popular during the early to mid 70's!!
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
I just LOVE your videos! You show the utmost love and respect for these families.
Sad to see places like this left abandoned to decay with no one to leave them to.
thanks for another great explore,it seems this house was,once,filled with a lot of love.and now it will not be forgotten.thanks for that!
The “ Ball jars” where used for canning vegetables,fruit . Maybe honey but; honey usually comes in smaller jars.
The vinegar was probably for pickling with using the those jars. Jam was also common for use of those jars
Not for Honey.... Ha.ha.ha. That made me laugh. Mason Jars are a brand of 'Canning' Jars, used for preserving Food.
Jam / Fruit / Vegetables from the farm, so you would have food through-out the Winter.
Ball & Mason jars are soooo multipurpose 🍸🍺🍹🍻🍾 white lighting comes to mind. 🤣
You guys are so adorable! It's quite amusing listening to you youngsters looking at antique things and trying to guess what they are. 😁🥰
17:50 that's a rewinder for VHS tapes, not a recorder. It was used to reduce the wear and tear on the VHS player, and so that you could start another movie while the last was rewound.
48:50 is a Standard brand treadle sewing machine.
56:45 that is an old oil can, not a receipt holder.
Ooo love that beautiful rug in the bedroom with the vacuum!!! Thank you both for sharing these wonderful lives now preserved on UA-cam even if these homes are someday gone.
If I ever left this existence without heirs I would love for you and your brother to examine my life and possessions. The respect you show is wonderful. Thank you.
I second that!
Where do we sign up? Lol I will leave out a welcome mat that says,"Welcome Bros!" I was actually picturing them, "Documenting" my place! That would be something an not yet abandoned documentary. I know people would watch whatever he chooses to show them...
It's so awesome how y'all are always respectful of the places y'all visit
Absolutely loved this farm house. Thank you.
I absolutely enjoyed this documentary! It has So much history to see-every room was very interesting..thanks for taking your time to show the world this lovely home♥️
Lesley, just so you understand some terminology, sewing is with needle and thread or machine. Knitting is done with two knit needles usually with yarn. Knit needles have a point to them. Crochet is done with yarn or thick thread. A hook is at the end of the crochet tool. I love listening to you two explaining these abandoned homes. (I do all three of the skills I have clarified for your understanding.) Keep up the great job. I am in Oregon, USA. The car that opened on top of the TV, it is a VCR rewinder. The stereo system was from the early to mid 1970's. I used to have one similar. (Oops, showing my age. LOL)
First time viewer here and now subscriber as well.
Love how you both give the detailed information and history of the former owners.
When i see how many people are struggling with finding a home these days it’s so sad that such a beautiful house like this can be for many.Much respect and appreciation!!
I found it sad that all those personal photos and mementos were left behind.
Omg😆 y'all guys makes me laugh after you open a fridge. Loves to watch your video 😍 I'm a silent followers too for more than 3 years. Watching from Philippines🇵🇭
Leslie, with your respective, loving attitude, you conquer every abode you go to. Every spirit loves you, and the dwelling is completely entranced with you.
I have missed watching you. I love the way you tell the stories. The car was a rewinder for vhs tapes. And the action of using a sewing machine is called sewing. Knitting and crochet are done by hand with special needles. Love hugs and prayers from an older lady in Texas.
I really enjoy watching your videos Lesley....so much of details and and information shared and at the same time, so much of respect to the persons past. That is so great. Always a big fan of your videos...
Wisconsin is far away 😂😂 I love it. We are directly above. What is considered close.? We have a large amount of German immigrants as ancestors here. My grandfather a second generation of German immigrants didn’t farm honey… he converted a dairy farm into cherry and apple orchards.
You guys are so cute😊
For Pete’s sake stop opening the fridges. You’re making me gag when you gag. 😂
Witam serdecznie . Dziękuję za piękny przekaz . Bardzo fajny zatrzymany w czasie dom. Dziękuję za tłumacza Polskiego. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski . Oczywiście łapka w górę. Mój ulubiony eksplorator .
I love watching you trying to figure out what things are and what they were/are used for.
I like the respect you show and your excitement finding treasures.
I believe the plastic car you found and thought it was a VHS player was used to rewind VHS tapes. Many people had them as they would rewind the tape
faster than the VHS player.
Vinegar would have been used for pickles or sauerkraut.
As someone else pointed out, the ball jars were used for canning food. The pickles and sauerkraut could have been put in the jars for long term storage. They would have been pressure canned and would seal like food in a metal can. The food will keep several years on those jars.
yep if you didn't rewind the tapes you rented you'd have to pay a fine at blackbusters or other video stores lol
Be kind, Rewind.
Was sticker on the VHS tapes.
I'm feeling so old. 97 sure I was a teen... but it feels still like not that long ago.
But to this baby, it would feel like me in the 2000's for people born in 77 or 67...
@@jmitterii2 I had large record collection bought at a thrift store downtown richmond plus my dads old 45s, two 8 tracks tapes ymca and eye of the tiger, and 8 track player and large cassette collection got rid of most of them. I bought a used atarii from indoor antiquemart in the 90s I still had prop the back up my brother didn't like share to much in the 80s , had like 40 games old boss gave me. still have vcr tapes I use in wed night church for preschool class. we didn't get the vcr until late 80's family didn't have money till it got cheaper. The girls next door dad and mom had money had a small apple computer we got to see and we got to see one in elementary school in another state take turns playing for 10 minutes they had game like oregon trail I think but been so long. Still had keyboarding class on electric typewriter when in high school but I did take a computer class programming almost failed BASIC. it was hard for me. Remember they showed us a cd rom movie it was like thing of the future metron or something like that. I remember a friend got that car phone was huge first portable phone. My ex had the pager thingy and portable cd player had to watch didn't skip in the car. My son was born in 97 makes me feel old too lol.
YOU TWO YOUNG MEN MAKE ME FEEL OLD(57YRS)I LOVE SEEING YAW GET EXCITED OVER THINGS I GREW UP WITH,YAW STAY SAFE,GOD BLESS YA!
Exactly I'm the same age and I'm joy in this very much watching this one and I still have and lived the old ways and I'm also German and polish
Thanks for all you do guys ✌️❤️
In the attic, the metal box you we’re trying turn the crank on is a. Flour bin out of an old kitchen cabinet
Hi Lesley and Danny, the calendar in the kitchen said January that explains the Christmas decorations, which is even sadder that Glenda passed so soon after Christmas. looks like she loved poinsettias, I write as the video plays, so I wrote this then you and Danny had mentioned it. The car is a tape cleaner, not a recorder. those jars are for canning, but she could use them for her honey as well. those palms and you get them on Palm Sunday the Sunday before Easter. Illinois is the 2nd state to produce corn so that would explain all the corn things in the house. Great video guys thanks. Love from N.Y.
I love the way the house looks from the outside. I love the windows ❤️
What a wonderful and heart warming discovery In Illinois. The Schmidt’s life in the country was so typical of how many in my family lived here in Indiana.
My grandfather was a tenant farmer here. He, Bryan Toll Sr., and my grandmother, Mable, raised nine children on more than one farm. They worked hard as tenant farmers for years at a time to take com- pleat charge over the animals, cows, pigs, chickens and horses.
Grandpa trained plow horses which I’m sure gave him a hard time on occasion. He also trained team horses for wagons etc.
Grandpa and Grandma were highly respected and raised their children the same. My
Mother, Nettie, was a perfect product of her early life. She was one of five daughters. So much to tell, so little space.
Some time ago I wrote that I was particularly touched when you came across the old sewing machines. She taught me that skill too.
So happy that you guys have come to the U.S. Special re- guards, Teresa Newby,
Indianapolis, Indiana
Watching your videos from France, very interesting! Thank you to be so respectful!
Lovely video
When you were in the downstairs bedroom, the items hanging you called nightgowns are actually call full slips. Slips are under garments women wear under their dresses. I love the innocent way you guess at what items are. Especially American things that we take for granted that everyone would know. You’re both so young when you talk about things being from maybe 30 years ago as along time. It’s a very short span of time.
Viele Grüße aus Deutschland. Ein sehr schönes Video. Danke für diesen Einblick.
You guys are great. You always do such a great job showing off peoples homes. Very sad though. I hope they were happy in there lives. Stay safe Lesley and Danny God bless you both. See you next week. Thank you
I have been to neuschwanstein when I was in the army, a whole bunch of us went there! I was stationed in germany, seigelsbach to be exact right outside of Heilbronn. I was amazed by how King Ludwig built the castle. He had vents in the kitchen to remove smoke and people thought he was crazy for putting vents in his kitchen, they didn't understand it. Also, he had a sink in the kitchen for holding fresh trought that was caught in the lake there. There was the little cave there too and the glass place for the plants. He was way ahead of his time for sure! Thank you for the video Leslie! The palm fronds are from easter sunday, they usually have them because when jesus entered jerusalem for passover the people put palm fronds on the ground in front of him and the donkey he was riding! And yes, that was a very old electric stove in the kitchen, they stopped making them like that in the sixties! That thing you thought was for receipts leslie was actually an old oil can. That large thing you thought was for the farm is actually a flour mill to sift flour with.( The thing you were turning the handle on.)
New subscriber! Thrilled I found your channel today! Old abandoned houses and their history have always fascinated me. Thank you for all the videos! ❤
I absolutely love your channel. And I really enjoythe way that you tell the stories of these families. Hopefully this time capsule not too many people will find out. And it'll stay that way till it goes back to nature.
Ah Lesley this is a beautiful home & story love it , thank you 💚
Muaic box is the theme from "Love Story" with Ryan O'Neal and Ali McGraw. That song always make me cry.
Wow, this house was magical, it's as if they left yesterday. Good job guys!
Eu amei esse vídeo! Ficaram tantas lembranças dessa família é uma pena que tudo se perde 😕 Parabéns pelo vídeo 😉😙
Hvala dečki...lijepo ste sve prezentirali .....a i iz komentara se svašta može doznati ....HVALAAA
Gracias Lesley y Danny son encantadores, una preciosa casa de familia tantos recuerdos quedan ahí grabados un vídeo relajante con las cajas musicales, que estés muy feliz y cuida tú salud protegiendo con mascarilla en éstos lugares en decadencia, que estés sano y salvo.
Love your adventures and how respectful you are. Great job as always 👍.
The thing in the mailbox in the attic was an old old oil can, you push the bottom and a drop of oil comes out! Glad you are having fun in the USA
Love the care and respect you try to show. Well documented.
What a wonderful find! I used to have that same music box when I was a child. Oh, the memories that brought back! Probably circa. 1974-76.
the song is Love Story, yes ?
I still have mine! The one in the video is missing the old fashion “horn” like the old Victrola’s use to have.
Thank you for this video. I was born in 1964 so some of what you filmed my grandmother had in her house. Also, I’m impressed o
With your appreciation, respect, of other peoples property. 😊
You have the hearts and souls of conservators. You appreciate past artifacts and wish to preserve their utilitarian purpose and craftmanship. The furniture may not be Chippendale, but it is real wood and not particleboard. Many of the bed spreads are hand pieced quilts. They are treasures to be preserved, not to be thrown away. Thank you for your respectful documentation of this time capsule.
Hey boys! I think you do a great job of presenting these homes. In Glenda's home, you showed respect and caring about their belongings. Thank you for being who you are. Other Explorers do not show the same respect, keep up the good work!
Pretty cozy house with precious memories and vintage items; I loved the stereo, those strange small musical boxes and the family photos; Danny's so funny explaining what a night gown is! :))) Thank you, guys , for sharing this beautiful sad life story! Another great exploration,as usual!
I laughed so hard when upstairs the music box started up again. Lesley, your face was priceless! 🤣🤣
me encantó el vídeo, la historia y entrega de su hija para cuidar de sus mayores. es una pena que ya no haya nadie y todo está destinado a desaparecer, pero aún así perdurará en este video.saludos
Great! I appreciate a lot your approach to this house. I am italian but I have german ancestors. We have the same idea of family and values. We have at home the same religious stuff and something of german tradition. Greetings from Welschtirol
Let's give these guys some love and hit the 😀 "like"
I love that you give us a little history of the places before we get started. Thank you. You are my new explorer guide.
The song in the music box is "Where Do I Begin" from the 1970's movie Love Story. This was by Andy Williams.
The thing you found in the mail box looked like an old oil can that they used to oil machine parts or squeaky door hinges. Love your videos and you all made me laugh when you played the music boxes!
It is so very interesting to see your reaction to the American items that you see. And the car that you found on top of the TV what does a tape rewinder. If you rented a VHS tape or if you watched one you could stick it in that car and it would rewind it to the beginning. I know that they had the business with all the honey but I’m sure they also had some of those jars downstairs for canning things like tomatoes or peas or stuff like that. In the downstairs bedroom where are you found that corn thing with some kind of cream in it, Was exactly that. It is just some kind of hand lotion or some kind of lotion for moisturizing. I am so enjoying this series! Thank you for the wonderful explore and sharing. Take care and blessings!
@Mister Google that way you could go ahead and stick in another VHS tape and not have to wait. A lot of people had them, and if I remember correctly, some VCRs didn’t have a rewind function.
Thank you for being respectful of all the old belongings........your guesses are so funny .........a ringer washer, an oil can.....etc
17:45 - The "car" is actually a VHS tape rewinder. It's not big enough to hold the electronics necessary for a VCR. In the 1980s, some people used these rewinders, so they could rewind the tape they'd just watched, while watching a new tape.
Be kind and Rewind!!! Lol
Me encanta tu narrativa haces que uno de involucre con la casa y sus antiguos habita tes.... gracias compartir Lesly saludos desde Monterrey México 😁
Boa noite Lesley e Maureno faz tempo que não vejo seu vídeo que casa linda cheia de lembranças essa máquina de costura é um encanto Obrigada por compartilhar tudo nessa casa foi interessante feliz semana para vocês
I'm surprised that no one has crashed those home's after all those years, cool videos 👌it's sad that no one took possession
Que buen abandono, me emocione mucho y me encanta porque tratan con mucho respeto cada cosa. Felicitaciones desde Argentina!! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
