Reading all of the old correspondence fascinates me so much. I try to imagine what they were doing when they wrote their letters, who the person was like that they were sending them to, what was going on around them, etc. My imagination runs away with me sometimes…LOL.<br /><br />We are looking forward to our own space, that’s for sure….where we can at least paint the walls if we want! :-)<br />Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-22001124817648068142015-07-20T08:50:20.875-05:002015-07-20T08:50:20.875-05:00Totally offensive but totally delicious!

I too buy old letters and old photographs. I bought a collection of a young Kentucky boy's letters home while in basic training during WW II. And I bought decades worth of diaries of a man who worked in DC beginning in the end of WWII through the 60s--fascinating!<br /><br />Just think of what you'll do when all the pent up creativity is unleashed when you move to your own place! I can't wait to see that!<br /><br />DewenaDewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-10053631811403189152015-07-19T19:23:14.066-05:002015-07-19T19:23:14.066-05:00Yes, he's way too thin!
