Finding old letters is pretty cool - even if they are soppy or a little on the racey side!
My Grandma died a month ago and all her belongings are being spread around to the people who get them one way or another - I got a box of recipe books (a 1946 8th edition of the Golden Wattle book was in the box and a book of her hand written recipes - I scored...am very happy I got them!) and a lot of the gifts I gave her over the years have come back - which is nice. I also found a note that she had written about my wedding. Made me cry it was so lovely. I had no idea she thought such nice things about it!
But one book came back empty and that was the one that I really wished she had written in - it was a book on Grandma's Memoirs. I do wish she had written in it as she had a lot of life in her 91 years and it would have been good to know a bit more about it.
So many stories have gone with her. I would have loved to know more about my Dad's childhood, but the ones that are left have their lips firmly clamped. So not too sure what went on there. None of them talk about their childhood days, so can't be good.
So even if I think my tales of my life are a bit odd/sedate/funny/whatever - I think I might write them anyway. It won't really bother me if I bore someone to death whilst they are reading it - I'll be dead and gone!!
Gert - I can well imagine your DH has some good stories to tell there.
Cookie - glad the fruit is ok, and hats off to you - I am not too sure if I could have kept that promise.
Astarra - I have no idea what else I may find in that cupboard. Will let you know if anything exciting comes to light
