Mystery bin #2 turned out to be filled with mostly old photos, office supplies, letters, cards and other paper ephemera, but I did find a couple pearls.
This is a picture of my grandmother when she was a toddler.
I also found my great-grandmother's journal. I thought I had given it back to Mom the last time she came to visit.
My guy and I have been talking, as he's worse than me when it comes to saving things. I think it's fallout from both of us living in poverty as kids. Anyway, we've reached that point in life when we do need to let go of all the things we've held onto for so many years. This way when it's time for us to go to the next place, we won't leave behind a big mess for our heirs. It's a necessary courtesy, I think.
