Memories

I spent the day with my mom house shopping. She is currently living in my grandmas house while my grandma is in a nursing home so her "house" is filled with lots of old woman memories. My grandma literally saved EVERYTHING! She has every letter written back and forth from her and my grandpa while he was at war. She has all of my 3 uncles army uniforms and a lot of my moms clothes (including her first communion dress) which is amazing. I even came across old stamp books from the war and her graduation diploma from 1935. It makes me feel bad because I throw away EVERYTHING but than again I don't know if my memories will ever be as awesome as hers. I grabbed some old photos from her enormious collection which I plan to blow up and have framed, I'm also in the process of getting a frame put together to frame some letters from her collection for my wall in my office. I love her old stuff because it has soo much family memories and history. My grandpa wanted a picture of her in a swimsuit when he was away at war so she sent him one, with her head cut off. LOL I found the one w/ her head cut off and also the original. I'm going to frame the original in my bathroom. I told my Grandma and she was so embarressed that I had found the photo.
