Past Memory


My mother in law pasted in June of this year,so the family had to do the norm and clean out the house.You are so surprised at the things you will find.We found an old movie projector with movies,it did not work so sister in law is trying to get them put on DVD for us to watch.It was a really hard thing for my husband and his three sisters to do,but it had to be done.Among all the pictures and the little cards from the kids over time ,we found this pair of overalls and glasses.These tiny little overalls and glasses were my husbands when he was a little bitty boy.It seems so weird he was ever this little since now he is 6ft 3 and weighs 275lbs and will be 51 in a few months.I am going to get a shadow box and put them in so they can be keep .It is really a nice thing to find older items like these that people treasured enough to keep that long that were important to them.I have many things that my children made as little ones and gave to me,cards,ornaments and they mean so much.Now I have started keeping the things I get from my grandchildren.We all need to hold on to alittle bit of the past.

Thats so sweet, the overall and his glasses, that was a treasure to find. Terry says hold on to the movie projector. He been hunting one for years. Maybe he could fix it. He has old movies, of his family in Destin, FL, when he was about two. Love your post.

This is so sweet. I have a bonnet that my Dad wore when he was a baby. He was born in 1913. It is very special to me.
