My sister has done that with some of our old papers but then we have gotten into the containers, so I don' know if that cancels it out. What a fantastic treasure.

I would give anything if I had had access to my grandmother's things but when she passed all my aunts took things and never even asked if wanted them. I probably would not have appreciated them at the time but I know now what I was missing by not keeping many things. Great post.

You will get lost for hours when you start reading all of the letters and books. I saw an old songbook there or something which looked like a wonderful piece to have. Let me know if you find any little cookbook or any hand-written recipes, that would be great for you, and you can try them and post them! Well, enjoy yourself, Kathy. You will be in heaven reading up on all of your old ancestors.<br />Best<br />GloriaGloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089446185793581415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-12514382434625785252012-01-24T14:34:35.037-08:002012-01-24T14:34:35.037-08:00What a treasure you have there!

I didn't begin to get this much stuff from my parents and I am still going through it all. I found a pillowcase the other day that I had thrown letters and things into and I had not remembered doing it. It is up in the store room ready for me to work on eventually. Good luck.L.
