Wow, I could do such cool entries if I could scan stuff in my LJ and link to it! Gotta learn, I guess.

I love the apples in the green bowl! And I seem to remember there were other bowls, as well, but this is the most memorable.

That dining room table made a great ice skating rink for our dolls. It was such a fantastic place to play!

I love the pictures and memories. This is like a virtual scrapbook, which is a very cool idea.

I agree. I'd love to write some things like that and save some family memories. Really wonderful.

Exactly, Jim! charliemc October 29 2005, 21:40:43 UTC

I want to make a lot more entries here just like this one.

It seems like such a nice way to keep memories alive and fun, I think!

(It beats the hell out of our drawers full of photos that we rarely ever look at... smile...)

So nice for you to share these things.

I remember having that special large bowl in the family. We had a yellow one. It's so toucing the way objects become connected with memories.

Sadly the yellow bowl shattered just this year.

Too bad! We have a couple bowls like that, too. That Mom must have had forever and a day. I feel good when I go home to Sunday dinner and see them sitting on the table filled with food.

That is sad. But at least it was being used! That's how I feel about it -- I'll use that green bowl until the day it's gone. And then I'll still remember it fondly forever...

Which is one of the reasons I posted about it here, actually! (smile)

Thanks for commenting, Koi.
