Chelsea

Short but sweet visit.  Just like it was all yesterday !!!

Dear Lord, please give me the strength!

Goodbye little do-hickey-mabobs! 

It's not that we don't love you,  we do!  You each hold special, ridiculously sentimental memories for me. 

     George, obviously always a favorite because you came with all your books (that are still around here somewhere) -girls loved loved loved CG.

     Starfish Santa, you were a favorite of grandma and grandpa Gillis's, not sure where you came from (Annie ? 1998). I'm tempted to stop and call to see if she wants it back ?  

     Those little backpacks!  They earned selling girl scout cookies - and would be perfect for school if they might want them in the future (but their rooms are overflowing with "sentimentality". As well, can't put it up there ) . . . 

      And finally cup stacking !! Is it still hot ?  It was all about speed stacking in 2nd grade and we had the timer mat and everything.  I think the dog eventually at the cups.

      Sigh. Where was I ?  

So - it's not that I don't love you, it's just that you're STUFF. .  . I can do this !  And I will NOT have to do this over even little bit of memorabilia, will I?
