Just the other day, Wendy and I were discussing how delightful it is to clean out old storage spaces and come upon buried treasure: the detritus of years gone by...
In the past, while helping my parents clean out their garage, I've thrilled over elementary school essays detailing my dream of becoming a master gymnast (see above), nursery school report cards scolding me for being "bad with scissors," my patch-laden sash from the junior girl scouts, old newspaper cut-outs my parents had scoured through, with titles such as "What To Do When Your Child Doesn't Speak"...
As nostalgia is so darn fun, why not ensure a similar trip back in time by creating your own time capsule?
