Believe me once everything is gone someone will be sorry- I love the house- I hope it stays in the family.

Here in our town, we have a Document Center. It is full of the archives of many a town family and a very interesting place to spend an afternoon.<br><br>Keeping these parts of your family will help your children feel connected.

I know it seems like one more thing to do, but my sister made wonderful scrapbooks for each of my nieces (my late sister's girls) with pictures she scanned that we found in the big box of stuff my parents kept forever. She wanted to give my nieces a sense of where their mother came from, where THEY came from, really. Keep the stuff, and keep it in the back of your mind that you can do something like this for your kids and your siblings' kids. It will be something everyone will treasure.

But they're great snapshots of a time when you grew what ate near where you lived and bad harvests could be a real problem. Or rumors of small pox or some other disease in the area. They're part of the tapestry of your family.<br><br>Jackie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6403384531250069062.post-71761230755443280952008-06-25T18:52:00.000-07:002008-06-25T18:52:00.000-07:00Keep the stuff handy.
