Great Questions – Part 5
.
All this month, I’ve been posing different questions (inspired by my friend, Amy) to help narrow down your most important memory treasures. I hope you enjoyed these questions. I found them very thought-provoking. Here’s this week’s question:
Think of 5 favorite people in your life; what is a special thing that represents each person for you?
Later this year, I’ll post these questions again and answer them for myself.

I know what things are good: friendship and work and conversation. These I shall have.

Oh, I like this question a lot! I have to ponder this for a while!
I can think of one person but the others may have to be dogs.
Wow, that’s a tough one. I thought I knew right away, but then other people came to mind. I think I would have to include my dogs, too. LOL
It is nice to have one significant item representing the important people; my problem is having several significant items and only limited space in which to keep them!
Very nice…. I am thinking hard. It’s hard to keep just to five of my favorites. (HH, of course, is #1)
Have a great day.

Hmmm, I’m not sure wether to choose my furry children or the human ones 🙂

Oh gosh, what a great question! Let me think ..
My Dad is easy – beetles always remind me of him! He was an amateur entomologist. And I have a number of his ‘beetle’ books, which I do use from time to time.
My Mum .. well, I thought a lot about that last year when she died. I think on the whole, the Singer sewing machine was an iconic thing. She also often used a knitting machine, and a pressure cooker, and of course her nurse’s uniform also defined her to a certain extent. But since I now wear her engagement ring, that has to be my key memory object.
I don’t know about OH. He’s so not a sentimental person and has no particular objects which he treasures for themselves. If I had to pick one which he can hardly bear to be without, it’s a watch I bought him which is solar powered and radio controlled so that it sets the time by itself, very, very accurately.
My Grandmother gave me a marcasite and silver crucifix which I treasured, but I lost it. 🙁
The last person is an ‘aunt’ – a friend of my mother’s. I think my object for her would have to be a letter she wrote me which I would hate to lose.
It’s so hard to think of actual objects. I am very sentimental myself, so I do surround myself with souvenirs – of occasions, of events, of people – but to choose one for one person is hard, and also, of course, memories are so much more complex than that.

Love the quote. 🙂
