As I sit at my computer, I watch the cursor blink, blink, blink...as if to say, "Well, come on, write something already!" I wonder what to write for my first blog entry.
I am listening to my husband sorting through mail. He bought a new shredder."Whirrrr! Whirrrr! Whirrr!
He brings me assorted items like my daughter's acceptance letter from the Governor's School for the Arts and says,"Do you want this?"
"Yes, I am saving it." I reply, still while thinking of what I want to write."Whirrr! Whirrr!
Here he comes again..
"Do you want to save Zoe's program when she was in Cox Idol?"
"Yes, I save all of that stuff, shreddable or not...."
The catipult Jimmy made in shop class, the clay dragon mask he made in art, every report card, honor roll certificate, Zoe's choral programs from the past 8 years of concerts, art projects, and original poems, etc.
I will continue saving these school memories for them as long as I can. I am so proud of their accomplishments as they should be. They are such great kids. We are lucky parents. "Whirrr! Whirrr!"
"Honey? Just shred the bills....."

I'm so grateful for all the things of mine that mom saved. I have still kept them all these years.
My husband tries to get rid of everything too. It must be something in their make up. When we got married he tried to throw away all of my dolls. I mean, I know they are just sitting there in a box, collecting dust, but I've held on to them this long, I can't believe he thought I would just toss them out willy nilly. We got in to a huge fight about it. Ah, the first few years of marriage of fun aren't they? Glad to know his desire to toss sentimental things won't fade. At least I'll be prepared.
I'm so excited that Zoe got into Governors School!! Will you send her my regards? I'm really proud of her. Is it for the music program or theatre?
