She took it back when she started sorting through stuff from the desk and putting papers she won't need and can be recycled.
She found an old picture of Grampie, this is probably from 20 years ago. Plus she found his draft card from 70 years ago, an old car title, and some vaccination records too.
The trick is to bite bite bite it until it's not good for anyone's use but yours!
ReplyDeleteDerby, that box looks exactly the right size for you. Your mum will need to get another box for herself.
ReplyDeleteCool. You get a box and your mum gets to see some old treasures. Bonus!
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE boxes too, they are great to sleep in and hide in!...We have missed visiting with you handsome boys since our Mommy has been out of town due to an illness in the family; we are very happy to read that your Grampie is doing better and is back home now...We enjoyed your July 4 post as well...kisses x3 sweet friends...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteDerby, it looks like your mum needs to get some more boxes so you'll have one of your own!
ReplyDeleteWhat? You should have told her that box was yours!
ReplyDeleteA bit big for you don't ya think ... my purr gang loves boxes where everything hangs over the edge.
ReplyDeleteYou do look rather cute in it ...
She took the box back? That's so wrong!
ReplyDeleteWow! You have a historical box ta sit in! It exudes old cool stuff about the parents olders...
ReplyDeleteThat box is great but the things your Mum are finding are cool! Memories for her to talk about with your Grampie.
ReplyDeleteThose are the kind of memories that made Jan happy and teary when she did her mother's papers.
ReplyDeleteWell, she needs to get another box for you! It must be conjuring up all kinds of memories for your mom to go through grampie's stuff. Our mom loved hearing her grandparents' stories.
ReplyDeletewow - a snoozy place for you and treasures for your mom - boxees are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat's your box, Derby.
ReplyDeleteSome of the old papers might be worth keeping as a 'snapshot' of another time.
It is very interesting to find photos and other belongings that have been long forgotten. We think that box is perfect for you and you should be able to keep it.
ReplyDeleteIt's really just WRONG that she took the box back. But I really enjoyed the Grampie picture. He looks like a very sweet man with a nice smile!
ReplyDeleteBoxes are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWe're glad to hear your Grampie is doing better too.
Purrrrs,
your bud Pepi
That looks like the perfect box for you - we think you should get to keep it.
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, what cool treasures your mom found - and that is a great picture of your grampie to have!
You never know what tkind of treasures you uncover when you start to dig. Even in litter boxes!
