A little over a year ago I posted about this Dutch oven that I almost saved from my dad's estate sale but he swiped it back from me after I cleaned it up (I was cleaning it for the sale, he didn't know I was thinking about keeping it).

Well, Dad passed away in April and I've been low-key looking for this thing for like a month and a half. Last weekend I finally found it. In the barn. Getting rusty. Again. I have to keep it now for two reasons. One, it has too much of a story to give up now and two, if I find out that anyone let this damn thing get rusty again, I'm going to lose my shit!
