What I Now Know – Part 4
.
This is the last week of my “heirloom investigation.” The text in black is what I knew; the text in red is what I found out. Sometimes, what you find out is a little anticlimactic.
Bunny Planter
I believe this was a planter (with a plant) that my mom received in the hospital when she was there having me.
My mom thought that sounded right.
Romper Room Mug
This was my Romper Room mug. I loved watching Romper Room as a little girl, and this was my milk mug.
My mom’s comment when she saw this…”Boy, is that old.” Thanks, mom.
Quilting Squares
I don’t have a clue what’s behind these. Seems like I remember them always being around, but I’m not sure how I ended up with them.
My mom thought these were cute and kind of remembers them…but that’s it. She was sure she did them for me.
Sometimes, what you know about your heirlooms is all there is.
Daily Inspiration
When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.
Winston Churchill
Geez your mum was helpful LOL!
I don’t think I have anything from when I was a child. It is very sad.

I think the oldest thing I have from my childhood is a doll that my Dad bought me. We were in TN visiting family and our house burned down in St. Louis. My Dad took me to the store and bought it for me. I think he had promised to take me to the store and did it even after hearing our house was destroyed. I was 3 or 4.
You & your Mom cracked me up! It is still neat to have things from your childhood 🙂
Thanks mom LOL!
Ha! I guess that’s true! At least you confirmed the stories and don’t have to wonder if there’s more to them at some point. 🙂
Heehee! This was one of your best posties EVER! Your mom is oh-so-super-helpful. MY mom was all excited abouts the Romper Room mug. She said she LUVED Romper Room, too!
