All those thoughts you had- wow, so much to cope with and so many difficulties. That's awful about the man with Legionnaires!Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505141047279582040.post-56762466743132702932017-02-09T08:55:21.661+00:002017-02-09T08:55:21.661+00:00Oh Jan I know what you mean about finding memories...Oh Jan I know what you mean about finding memories. I've recently had to help clear a relative's house after she passed away. A bureau here, a drawer there, boxes in wardrobes etc. We learnt more about our relative's life than we'd ever known while she was living. Photos, letters, documents. Such a shame that we've had to get rid of most of it (she never married so no children). Thank you for your recent comments on my blog.

It was a bad time. Like you I also wonder if some of us will disappear in our paperless world for future generations:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505141047279582040.post-46017980170279319682017-02-07T20:42:31.889+00:002017-02-07T20:42:31.889+00:00A beautiful bureau and what a plethora of memories...A beautiful bureau and what a plethora of memories and emotion you found within!diaryofapennypincherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09314692740147273227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505141047279582040.post-27367924761353682672017-02-07T11:11:14.385+00:002017-02-07T11:11:14.385+00:00I recently passed my Dad's bureau on to my eld...I recently passed my Dad's bureau on to my elder daughter. She was thrilled to become the keeper of it after it being in my possession for over 20 years. Teaching is definitely challenging; that same daughter has become very ill because of it :(Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505141047279582040.post-45096461375843706322017-02-07T10:53:02.140+00:002017-02-07T10:53:02.140+00:00I keep all my old diaries, I love getting them out...I keep all my old diaries, I love getting them out every so often and looking back, they bring back so many memories. My mum and dad used to have a writing bureau and they asked if we'd like it when they moved house. Unfortunately, we didn't have anywhere to put it so they let it go but I'd have loved to have kept it.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505141047279582040.post-16326750496390607832017-02-07T09:46:47.304+00:002017-02-07T09:46:47.304+00:00It's interesting finding old "stuff"...It's interesting finding old "stuff" & it transporting you back in time. It's these things that make us who we are. BTW, I'm sitting doing this and just to my left is nearly exactly the same desk, which we bought from an antique shop in Hobart, probably around 1990, but I still use mine for lots of things, including all our Car Club bits, like name badges & subscription papers.
