Day 19/365 It’s time to go, high school and college papers


     Clearing out the boxes of memorabilia in the attic has turned into a two-day project. 





Most of the boxes are from out kids’ high school and college days, but one box hold papers and souvenirs from our courting and marriage days. For example, from our first date--the program of the Boston Bruin’s game. That was before the Bobby Orr days; the Boston Garden was pretty empty; it was January and we witnessed the third game that the Bruins had won all year. We're keeping this one.

       Then there are all the kid’s boxes. OMG, what if we had had more than two? This project is labor intensive. What if I toss an important letter, term paper or journal? I tell myself that no one will know. After all, our daughter graduated from college twenty years ago and she hasn’t looked for anything up there since the boxes landed up there. It doesn’t appear that either of our children will be building a presidential library of any kind, so I figure that the best I do will be good enough.
