{Good Random Fun} Week 10

Sigh.

Yesterday's FUN was all about

sorting

boxing

organizing

and sorting some more.

I spent hours in my scrapbook room.

And, truth be told, got a whole lot accomplished.

But my, oh my...the waves of nostalgia weren't ripple-like.

No.

Tidal waves of nostalgia washed over me.

Here are just a few of my RANDOM finds...

 {my brother's soccer album and medals from high school}

 {so many precious cards from our kids}

 {these goofy photos taken by two bored kids one Christmas Eve...waiting can be so hard!}

 {my father's baby book ~ with notes in my grandmother's hand}

 {my grandparent's wedding keepsake album!! Atlantic City and New York...1929}

 {my parents' wedding memories...including telegrams from the day}

And memories from this house.

The postcard I mailed when we moved in.

My son's graduation announcement.

Memories.

GOOD memories.

As I worked in my basement yesterday,

I felt so much gratitude for our seven years in this lovely little house.

I have shared hours and days with dear friends

around tables in my workshop space.

Time spent laughing and crying,

sharing and caring

for each other...

and for the memories that make us and our families who they are.

When Ed Sheeran's song came on, I'm not gonna lie..

I lost it just a wee bit...

"We keep this love in a photograph

We made these memories ofr ourselves

Where our eyes are never closing

Hearts are never broken

And time's forever frozen still"
