Scrapbooking

The care of things continues. Last weekend I had the pleasure of a visit from my darling little sister-- who stands 5' 7" to my 5' 3". She is one of the few people in the world who cares about the vanload of stuff I brought back from Mamaw's abandoned house in Pineville. We spent an afternoon looking at pictures from the 1920's to the 2000- oughts. I think the most poinient part was that the family is essentially out of touch with the descendants of the brothers Zekaney, Paul and Peter. Among Mamaw's effects was a college graduation pic of Paul, a 3 foot wide panorama of faces from 1927. There was also a certificate acknowledging Paul's right to wear the Logan High School letter.

There were postcards from Mamaw's sister Virginia, sent from California, the West and the South in the mid 1950's. They'd inquire about family members or offer a "wish you were here" type greeting. These l'il sis slid into 3x5 acid-free sleeves, to be viewed front and back. The holes on the sleeves weren't spaced exactly right for a 3 ring binder, so we had to punch them with a hole puncher, which wasn't as easy as it sounds.
