I simply cannot see a trunk
without wanting to open it.
I just know there has to be
treasures inside.
I have trunks all over my
place. Every room and even
on the porch. I've made sure
they hold interesting things.
My fave is the one that holds
all those little treasures from
my childhood that I couldn't
let go.
My last doll and her trousseau,
a ship my father built me, his
two page newspaper clippings,
scrapbooks, my grandmother's
lace, high school annuals, etc.
Every now and then, I take a
proper look-see. Sometimes
there's tears, more often a few
chuckles. Bottom line, 'tis a
reminder of a rather amazing
childhood and I am grateful.
If you are fortunate enough
to have grandchildren, put a
trunk together for storytelling
times, fun and distraction.
You won't regret it . . .
