Childhood Keepsakes

The last week or so, I've been cleaning out tubs of keepsakes.  Stuff that goes back to before I ever started first grade. Not sure why I kept all this stuff. Did I really think someday I would go back and read the birthday cards my kids got 30 years ago.  I didn't. They went into the trash. Along with a big barrel load of other stuff. And the stuff I wanted to keep - I decided to photograph and keep a picture of it, rather than the paper itself.  You  can accumulate a LOT of "I love you, Mom" pictures. Add the "I love you, Mamaw" ones into the mix and you've got a LOT MORE.

The next several posts are going to be a compilation of these memories. I'm gonna start with my elementary school year class pictures.
