Give 3 reason things you'd never leave behind regardless where you'd be moving too.

1. Vintage, gold, Pendleton Wool blanket in mint condition my son gave me that I'll never use for fear of mucking it up that they'll probably have to bury me to get because I can't see myself ever parting with it. He only paid $5.00 for it. I researched it and when I found out what it was worth well it wasn't a lot of money to me at the time but it would have been a tidy sum for him while working his way through freshman year of college. When I let him know what a find he'd let go of and offered it back he said – No, that's okay mom you keep it, you're worth it.
2. Monte the Magnificent's Christmas print theme stocking cap with the red pompom on top and elastic stretchy band chin strap. He hates it but begrudgingly puts up with me my madness when I haul it out. He just looks at me like - Oh here we go photos again, well make it quick.
3. Two pieces of artwork and some small plates I picked up all in the most unexpected of places all on the same day for a song. I believe the plates to be a transitional pattern - when one business is sold to another and the new owner uses some of the old stock along with something of theirs rather than let the old inventory/product go to waste –in this case the old owner's logo, on the back with the new owner's relief pattern around the edge. None of these items are worth much if anything at all but I like them. They bring back good memories of an unexpected happy day just when I needed one the most. It was like a sign from the universe - no matter what never give up hope because if you do you just might wind up missing out on whatever good thing/things might be waiting for you just around the corner if you can bring yourself to hold on just one more day longer.
Give me three good ways to kill time when it seems you've been given too much of it.
