Sending the treasure away
Like most people I have certain objects that I consider my personal treasures. No gold or precious stones. Rather small objects that I have found over the years they come with a set of memories. However I have been reluctant to gather my treasures in the homes of my family. Unlike some of my relatives. We have certain objects that have come back to us after many years away. Things that were picked up by relatives and taken home as their personal souvenirs. I like getting these objects back but they filled me with a sense of curiosity. I imagine that there are other things that I am unaware of which have gone away to new homes. Things like a spinning wheel that left my grandmothers house years ago and never ever spun another scheme of yarn. In other words something to elicit conversation not solve a problem. What about you would you take home objects from a family home? In a sense you’re home but no longer. Would you reveal these treasures to others? Do you have a plan for that object continuing its journey once you no longer have a need or concern? I want to know more about this. As my basement needs to be emptied perhaps I have treasures that you would like to re-home. I must check that out with my siblings and my children. I have an old radio that someone could love again. All the old books are gone I hope but that was more my choice.

Just some old photographs that still need to be labeled before anyone else can take pleasure in them.
