"Our Memory Walls - Reminders of People"

Little by little we're getting things used up, taken down, thrown away or stored safely away. The memorabilia which has had a place in our hearts and on our bedroom walls is now safely packed away to make the 2,222-mile trip west with us in 19 days and 17 hours.

We have quite an array of items - everything from birthday cards from our children and our friends to grand children's art work to notes from friends back home to wedding and birth announcements to ticket stubs from Metropolitan Opera and Broadway productions to Church and missionary meeting agendas, and many, many more. They are all physical reminders of the of people - people who make such a difference in our lives. People we love - new and old - people we plan on associating with through the eternities, thanks to the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. We count our blessings.

What wonderful memorabelia! Pack up what you can and take it with you. Those things will mean a lot in the day, weeks, and months to come.

I LOVE this wall! What a clever idea, and you can take it all home with you. That's a real blessing. (We'll have to throw EVERYTHING away.)
