You, silly. I knew exactly what would happen when I clicked on “exceptions…”

I almost put your name in that clause, Laura dear…

How lovely to have an attic full of wonderful family things from the past. Attics in California are not common, and I never had such to poke around in, but I loved a room in my great-aunt’s house that served as a museum of sorts for our family: old photos, artistically framed, marriage licenses, old fans and lady’s hair combs… I spent hours in there, just looking at everything on the walls…

I’ve always wondered how families could part with those wonderful, old, family portraits that seem to end up in a stack at an antique shop! Their faces always
seem to peer out of a box as if to say, ‘I have a story to tell….’

Lanier dear, I was just lamenting the state of our societal attire yesterday. I decided I am going to completely revamp my wardrobe this spring. I want nothing but beautiful blouses, flowing skirts, and elegant dresses! (Rob cringes…)

It just occured to me that you might take my meaning to be that Rob does not like nice clothing. What I meant is that he will have to provide the funding for this next step of my own personal beautification. He said either interpretation is fine with him… he is so provoking! ;D

It sounds as though you have a wonderful collection of old ephemera in the attic. You’re very fortuneate to have access to your family history. I often hear stories of how papers like these were tossed by unknowing family members. Great story.
