I'm in a group conversation, and went off-topic when one of the cousins mentioned they are living where my husband's cousin had lived. I knew the place and asked if there was an old anvil in the garage, because it had belonged to their grandfather and maybe his father before him. Turns out that it is still in the family, in another location, but they didn't know it was a family heirloom.
