We found memories while opening boxes of decorations!  This ornament was a gift from special neighbors when our daughter was born.  That cookie container delivered yummies from friends.  It seems the stories take on a life of their own through the passing of time.

I always dread the process of reorganizing the house.  Yet something wonderful happens as we dig into crates filled with special treasures.  I begin to reminisce about special gatherings and the dread gives way to joy. 

I know tomorrow I’ll still be wading through boxes, but this time, it will be with great anticipation for the days ahead!
