What is it about January that has us thinking of loved ones who are no longer with us? It doesn’t feel sad, though. More like holding them close, keeping memories, and sorting treasures, as you say. I loved reading about your dad, in your linked post. “Tall Paul” sounded like a special man.

Oh what True Treasures, Debra…! And I love the info about the car. I had a car—my very first car—in 1950, I think, and it is amazing how so many things that are standard now, were “Optional” then…..!
Isn’t it good that you could do this and not have it be so so terribly painful! And that you could find such sweet things…Marvelous. And a lovely way to spend New Years Eve, my dear.

What a beautiful post! My oh my. How funny to pay for “foam rubber” front seats. Wonder what the alternative was. Lovely to have the letters.

What is remembered, lives. Thank you for this.

I enjoyed reading outloud to my husband the accessories that your parents had on their cars. It’s so interesting to think of paying extra for blinkers!!

I also find this post to be inspiring because I have a lot of old papers, some treasures and some VERY MUCH NOT, yet it is so hard to go through this kind of stuff as you well know. Anyhow, you’ve inspired me with your own actions and I’ll keep you in mind before I take a deep breath and select a box. Thanks. <3
