all boxed up

I spent the weekend in St. George visiting Mom and Grandma Great.

While I was there mom pulled out a large box with my name on it   Opening it I found letters and things from long long ago.  I wasn’t sure I wanted to dig deeper.

 My kids (and Sam) jumped to the box eager to see my boxed up past. 

We found cassett tapes (and of course I had to explain what they were!), misclanious pictures and trinkets I had kept.  

But the golden nugget was my diary from elementary and letters I collected after high school!  

They had a great time reading about my 4th grade crush and letters from other "boys".

It seems like a lifetime ago.

Now they tease me. :)
