Haven’t pulled a question out of the jar for a spell. Thought I’d give it a whirl.
Tell about your most loved, prized possession.
Nothing came to mind right away…. then several things came to mind, but which is the MOST loved? I’m not sure. Here’s the top three of my most loved, prized possessions:
1. My wedding ring. It’s a sentimental thing. It’s a reminder of all the better and worse times we’ve gone through over 22 years and that we’re committed to stay together. I think I would still pick the same setting too. I didn’t pick this one, but I told Rick that I liked marquis shaped diamonds… and he took it from there. He done good.
2. The Family Bible. (Stop rolling your eyes, Christy.) I’m the ONLY family-tree-loving member of my generation. If it weren’t for an historian in each generation, how would the family saga live on? The old, brown Bible was purchased in Oregon City when my great great Grandparents came across the Oregon trail. It has several marriages and births written in it, as well as locks of hair (that’s kind of gross), and newspaper clippings. It’s a cool piece of our family history…. from Dad’s side of the family. (Katelyn, I’ll keep it for you, Honey.)
3. My scrapbooks. What more needs to be said about this one? They are the current family history done with creative flair and thousands of dollars and hours. We don’t get them out enough. I keep most of them in a cabinet away from the dust, but when they do see the sunshine, all the family pours over them like it was the first time. Makes me happy.
That’s it. A ring and some old books. What is your most loved, prized possession?
