Oh, my sides are splitting. I just got off the phone with my mother and she got deep into organizing yesterday, going through ancient boxes that have been stored for half a century. She found a Christmas card I made for her and my father when I was in second grade.
It reads:
"Dear Mom and Dad,
I love you both very much and I'm hoping you have the best Christmas ever. I wanted to tell you that I'm not going to run away. I'll think about it, but I won't do it
Love,
Cynthia
Talk about profound! ROFLMAO!

I have a large Cedar Chest that belonged to my mother and every once in a while we open it, the kids act like we just dug up Davey Jones's treasure when we do.
Me too I guess, old memories and new ones we've added.
It's hard to close it back up sometimes.

Oh Moons, my mother has a treasure house full of things she's saved. We had a three story farmhouse, but the third floor was never finished. That attic was so huge and she packed so much stuff away that it just sat for decades without being touched. They moved to a small ranch 5 years ago and there wasn't time to go through it all, so it got moved again, but never opened. When I was staying there, I motivated her to start going through it and see what can be save and what can be pitched. I'm going over tomorrow to do her Christmas cleaning and I'm sure I'll get sidetracked. Fun stuff.

Ruger, the formality of the name makes it even funnier to me. Nobody ever called me by my "proper" name, I was always Cindi.

We had a fire at home when I was a young Lad,all our pictures and photos were destroyed.
I still remember the pictures of my father on horse back in the Holland Army .
I also remember the days when I would go to the professional soccer games,in Holland at about 5 years of age
and dream of some day being a net minder. Those photos would have meant everything to me
now that I.m older. There were also pictures of my first dog Rex.

That's sad Gouda, I'm sorry for you. I have all kinds of things she's been digging up, even pictures of my great-grandparents that I've never seen before, tintypes. It gives me a whole new perspective into the past that was long-forgotten. It gives me a glimpse of what I am, in the raw, and I like that.

Recently my son and I were going through some of his things and found the box that contained some of his childhood art work, letters, and creative writing assignments from school (he is 24). We laughed till we cried.

All of my grandparents were pack rats when it came to keeping mementos. My dad's mom kept everything from childhood on when she and her family immigrated from Finland to the UP in Michigan. She has stuff from the copper mines, the union organizing, and the Italian hall disaster. My dad's dad was from Norway and we have stuff that his family kept. Unfortunately, my mom's family was unable to bring much of their treasures over on the boat following WWII from Germany but we have some. It is always fun to look through the memories.
