While going through the box, I realized that I had found a treasure. There were folders from when he was in the army and his notes. There were also loads and loads of pictures. That was the best part- finding all the old pictures! I only have one picture of my grandma and it was a small picture. In the box there were several and boy are they cool! One is of both my dad's parents, the other is a pic of my grandmother when she was younger. It is so beautiful! She looks like a movie star! I can't describe it so I'll just show you!!
See what I mean?! Awesomeness!! I also found pictures of my dad when he was little. Again, I only had one picture from when he was a baby. There were a few pictures from school photos and there were also a few toddler pictures. I never realized that I looked so much like him when I was little! Look at this one!
I would know that face anywhere! That smile! Uh! Such a find on Saturday!! You have no idea how awesome this is!! I am SOOO excited to have found this stuff and it has been in my basement for 10 years!! My message to you is to CLEAN!!! As much as I hate to do it, you never know the treasures you will find!!
So what's the point. This stuff is all fine and dandy for ME but what does it have to do for you? Well, after going through the box, I went on a little trip down memory lane. I thought about all the fun/happy/sad/hilarious things that I did when I was little and growing up. Most of them made me laugh and when I shared them with mom, we had a big old laugh fest. All I need to tell you is that I was an AWESOME little kid! For instance. When I was little one of my dad's friends brought over a huge stuffed penguin for me. Now you need to realize that this thing was as big (if not bigger) than me at the time. I was so thrilled and happy to have this new stuffed friend! How did I show it? A thank you would have been way too normal. I hauled it into the living room. Dragged it onto the couch. Once I was standing on the couch, I clutched the penguin in front of me and took a giant leap off the couch. I proceeded to do a big fat belly flop on the new toy! It was awesome! It kinda bounced and was super fun! Needless to say, my mother was appalled. On the other hand, my dad thought it was hilarious! I don't exactly remember what my dad's friend thought, but knowing he was friends with my dad probably meant that he thought it was funny too. He was most likely shocked, but still funny. I LOVED that penguin!
Another memory I had was when I was younger, we would dress my dog, Lucy, in clothes. As I got older I would put my dresses on her but before that, dad and I would dress her in my pajamas. My actual pajamas. It was hilarious! Need some photographic evidence? Here you go! These pictures make me laugh every time I see them!
Yep. My dog fit into my clothes! Those were the days! I'm so happy I found that box and it inspired me to go through other photos I had which is where these dog pictures come from. It sparked a lot of wonderful memories and I scanned quite a few to share with you in the future. Some of them are sweet while others are just random. I hope you enjoy them and the stories that go along with them. As always, thanks for reading and all the support!
