Minnesota woman Amanda Reddy bought herself a trip back in time recently when she purchased a home built in 1910. When she started renovating the kitchen she spotted something unusual and decided to take a closer look.
“When I first pulled off the baseboard I thought, ‘ewwww…someone’s nasty stuff is back here,’” Amanda Reddy told TheBlaze in an email.
Then, she started pulling out post cards dating back to 1907 and 1909 along with a few other possessions.
“It felt like I had discovered a time capsule,” Reddy, who purchased the south Minneapolis home in Dec. 2013, said.
The cards were addressed to a woman named Mayme Berneck. – The Blaze
I’d love to stumble upon some history like that but I’ve never lived in a home that old.
I’m wondering if you’ve ever found anything left behind in a home you’ve owned. Maybe nothing as old as 100 year old postcards but something of interest.
Have you ever left anything behind when you’ve moved? Something under floorboards in behind a wall? What about some kind of time capsule? have you ever put a few bits and pieces into a container to bury or hide?
What legacy are you laying down now that will live on well after you’re gone?
I’d love to hear your stories.

I’m sure that most of us have thought about being able to travel in time. I must admit I haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about it but it certainly crosses my mind now and then.
