Tonight I cleaned out about 6 or 7 more totes that I had stored up in my parents attic, only 3 left up there! It’s so fun to go through the totes and see what kind of “treasures” are in them! Tonight I again found things that were from college, things from high school, things from elementary school and even things from when I was just born!!!
First I found a tote filled with t shirts and corduroys that I wore in college. Apparently I wore ALOT of corduroys! I don’t exactly remember that but I seemed to have them in every color! I also LOVED t shirts!! I knew that was true but I had no idea how many I had kept. Many of them didn’t even look worn and many of them were UMF shirts!! Having a beaver as the mascot, UMF could make some pretty funny t shirts!
I also found some art projects from UMF. One of my favorite classes was “Art In the Classroom.” It was a class where we basically made art project that we might make with a class full of students. This project was paper mache, and I made a moose! Noby had a great time playing with it…
Well until he sat on it and the legs broke! haha
I also found a crazy amount of glasses from UMF. Coffee mugs, beer mugs all with some type of UMF function on it! I guess Mainers love their liquids!!
One of the best finds of the night was in the last tote I cleaned out. Cards! “Cards?” you ask? YES CARDS!!! Check it out… Yup those say “Happy 1st Birthday” and they are MINE!!! My mom kept all my cards…
TILL MY 7TH BIRTHDAY!!! Each year had it’s clearly marked envelope!!! YUP that’s my mom for ya!!!!
She also had THIS box of cards…. can you tell what they are??
Those are cards that SHE got when I was born!! Check it out… “congrats on the arrival of REBECCA!!!!!”
Ohhh and I found this note from Brenda, it’s from 1985. She apparently gave me a bible for my confirmation. I love the PS part about if I can’t read the note I should ask her…. hummm but if I can’t read it??? PS. Brenda you still sign your name EXACTLY like that!!
WOW!! Purging feels great!!!!
