Cleaning Out, Cleaning Up

As the days narrow down to when I will be leaving...My parents asked me to clean out my bedroom back at home.  My dad wanted to set up my furniture from college in my bedroom in Frankston and move my childhood furniture to another room.  Well, this required A LOT of cleaning out.

Oh the memories that were found in the drawers.

Pictures: childhood, MS, high school, senior year...HS graduation

Sure, some memories were found that were better left forgotten.  It's funny how you can see one picture and suddenly remember everything that was going on in that image.

My Mimi is like that...88 years old today, and yet you show her a picture and she'll tell you everything about it...some things never change.

Items found...

-Furbys? - who thought those were ever a good idea - it actually went off while I was holding it -not sure why the batteries still work - and startled me pretty well.

-Beanie Babies? - oh, I had plenty....if those are ever a hit again I could sell them!

-Old cards (birthday, Easter, Christmas, Valentines, graduation) - reading some of these made me pretty thankful for the wonderful family and friends I have.

While it was neat to go through old momentos, things I once held really special...it's also nice to see that there has been a change in the person who lived here growing up. Both inside and out.
