ROFLMFAO to dm's "hidey-hole" and PF's "keepie" drawer!

I have a "heart box" (not a heart shaped box, just a box) that I keep momento's in from days gone by. I keep notes written on the back of old billing envelope's and the like, written by my mother to my father (both deceased) telling him not to forget his lunch and that there is a $10.00 bill in her purse for him for the day (musta been his beer money.....lol!) and things like that. I have letter's from my brother (deceased) when he was young and in a boys home, asking when he could come home again and saying that he would never run away again and stuff like that.....but with little side notes as to what he was doing that week and to say a special hello to me or one of my other sisters. There is my report cards from every year in school....kindergarten to senior year....and my class pictures from each of those years. I have my baby bracelet from the hospital when I was born (back then they were beaded either pink or blue and lettered with your last name). There's a lock of hair from a special someone in my heart. I keep a book called "Lover's Keepsakes" that I started from the beginning of my relationship with my husband (which contains the remains of the one and only rose he's ever bought me thus far). There's my maternal grandmother's naturalization papers and a driving manual from when she first came to the United States (she was from Scotland). I have a letter my mother wrote to the television show "One Step Beyond" in which she submitted an idea for a show (lol....too funny, huh?) and my parents divorce decree and next to that their marriage license from when they remarried each other (two weeks after the final divorce).

Oh......you get the idea...........My Heart Box!
