A visit and memorabilia

This is what my living room looked like

after my brother, sister-in-law, and I

went through boxes of Dad's and Mom's stuff ----

memorabilia.

They took a minuscule amount back to Colorado

with them,

including some of Dad's sermons.

I have empty boxes

that I am going to use to help me  organize this into:

Pictures of my kids and grandkids -

Pictures of  dad, mom, the brothers, and me - 

Sermons to give to the kids -

Pictures and written stuff of Dad's and Mom's

Stuff having to do with his WWII experience -

Throw out - 

I've started but need to get much further today.

I ended up really getting into the movie 

The Life of Pi

and I didn't want to look away from it.

(I thought I'd sort and watch a movie

at the same time. Ha! Ha!)

 Here is my sister-in-law Cindy and my brother David

We spent a huge chunk of the day this past Saturday the 28th

at the house going through stuff

and talking and catching up with each other.

I kept lunch simple:  ordered subs from Subway.

My husband went in and got them.

I added a fruit salad and chips.

There were cake and cookies for dessert

We went out to dinner at a place I had never been,

but Mike had.

It's called Food with Jane after her catering company.

It's a small, but dressed-up restaurant

with excellent food.

It was a wonderful day.
