You know, you are just fun.....end of summer clearance sale. Your trophy got me thinking about a trophy I have in the cabinet.... my mother's from Barot College.... her name but no year... it is same era as yours. Time to polish it and enjoy some flowers and special memories. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe fun part for me was finding out more about some of the things I had. I've had the trophy for years - because I thought it was amusing - but I'd never researched the silver mark. Same with swimmer Charles Daniels, who I hadn't really researched much because his heyday was so long ago. I hadn't realized he was credited as the inventor of the American Crawl. What a hoot!! I also came across things that I decided I wanted to keep - family things and other items. It's cathartic to have a sale like this, but also reaffirming in a way.
