When Cop Car and her Hunky Husband came to visit last weekend, she brought along a manila envelope filled with clippings and such (along with the other things she brought). I had set it aside, meaning to got thru it later. However, I meant to go thru it while they were still here, not a week later!
Anyway, I found it exactly where I had left it and decided that I had to check out what was inside. The first thing that caught my attention was that the envelope was heavy, so I reached to the bottom and found a plastic bag with tiny silverware in it. Since the bag was marked with my initials, I assume it was my baby silverware. What a neat thing to find! I have placed it in the cabinet with my grandmother's china (CC says she's not really sure that it is Grandma's china. It might be Great-Grandma's or some that Grandma got somewhere else - but Grandma gave it to me, so I think of it as hers).
The next thing that fell out (that was not paper) was an etch-a-sketch keyring. How COOL! For those not in the know, I tend to collect keaychains so I am overjoyed and getting this gift!
Included in the package were several comic strips that had obviously reminded Cop Car of us; some were about bikers, some about pets or "big cats" (and the giant roll of string that they must play with) and some about life as a kid before video games.
Additionally, there were several articles taken out of magazines or newspapers; articles about pet-sitters, library cats, service dogs and corrective eye surgery (unfortunately it doesn't do those with KC any good - but we can always hope that one day something will become available). Last but not least, there was a recipe for Chocolate Goody Bars - mmm, sounds good!
Damn, I wish I had remembered to go thru the envelope while they were here!
