Lost and Found

 

(My siblings and I at Logan’s pass in Glacier national park. I am the little one sucking her thumb)

Several years ago my dear grandma passed away. We all still miss her incredibly.

 

My lovely grandmother and our family at my uncle’s in Snowflake – I am the baby my mom is holding)

My sweet aunt took care of my grandparents in their declining years. When she cleaned and gathered my grandma’s belongings she handed me a photo album to pass on to my parents. I was so excited. This photo album had some old photos I had never seen before and I quickly called my Mom and Dad and told them to come and get it.

Then I put the photo album in a very safe spot.

When the parents came to visit my mother asked for the photo album.

Uhmm- where was that safe spot??

Do not laugh it is not funny.

I seriously cleaned every nook and cranny, many hundred times.

I and my children have cleaned my storage room numerous, numerous times.

No photo album. What have I done?

Where was that safe spot and those priceless photos???

My Grandmother passed away in 2001.

Last summer my mom asked if I had ever found that photo album – so I searched again.

Lost – LOST – LOST!

Guess what Hubby found this week?

Guess who got another excited phone call and better come and get this priceless photo album. 

Aren’t these old Polaroid's classic – they do not preserve well, but are so fun, and now safely stored in digital form.
