It was time to clean up some old tattered boxes under the stairs...save or throw away? I found a box my mother had given to me

a few Christmases ago. Mostly school Photos but a few even earlier so long ago there were some in black and white. Yes kids we didn’t always have color cameras…but I’m glad there are scanners now. I will keep the photos, and put them away for safe keeping. I’ll share a few with my scanned for all to see from Baby to graduation. I’ll link this post to my Facebook account by an outside blog, and hope my old friends (who’ll I’ll see for my 30^th high school reunion in May) will follow suit. I’ll be going back to Sudbury Massachusetts for a curtain call, reminiscing and maybe a round of golf.

Activerain Friends, Same goes for all of you, consider this assignment a reason to sort through those old boxes your mother gave to you. Let your children choose a few that you’ll post for us and pick a highchair to high school progression.

I realize living until I’m 96 is a long shot…so more than half of my time here has past. I have few regrets; one was working for minimum wages during my senior year in High School. I missed much of the social events that build adolescent memories; I haven’t kept in touch with my home town friends. My son is a High School Junior; I wouldn’t try to live vicariously through him. But I wouldn’t encourage him to save for College now by missing the times of his life. There is time enough to work, teach your children well and let them choose their own path.

Don’t think about our recession remember recess, don’t think about gas prices remember three friends with 6 bucks between you, could get you to the ocean and back on senior skip day.

Have fun with this I promise you will have a good time sorting through your old elementary school shots.

P.S. I’ll comment on your post I promise.

Senior Photo, So ready to get on with what lies ahead , so willing to forget the past. You can never really go home again but I look forward to reconnecting with old friends. Share your photos in my comment section I look forward to the big hair, and wide ties...they are making a come-back much like a 30th high school reunion.
