Mom = memory-keeper
A few months ago, when we were going through the boxes in the basement, I found a couple of boxes just filled with papers and drawings done by my kids in the early years of grade school. Given that those "kids" are now in their 40s, it seemed time to let them go. I spent a few happy hours going through them; it was interesting to see early echoes of the people my kids grew up to be in those drawings and work sheets. I tossed the vast majority, but a few were just too precious to let go! So what to do with these random pieces of paper? I scanned them and threw away the originals! I also found a complete set of class pictures through about 6th grade-the ones with thumbnail picture of each class member, plus the teacher and sometimes the principal. I scanned those too, and let the originals go. Do you remember the packets of school photos we used to buy? If you wanted two 8x10s, for example, you might have to buy more than one set. Pictures were purchas...
