I'll admit that I still have a few things at my parents' house. And of course, they've been asking for a while to clean up the house by removing our things, which is causing them clutter. I get it. They need their space back.
I've been slowly bringing a box back here and there and above this piece of furniture, I found an oval wooden bowl filled with souvenirs from my trip to Mexico. That trip was my first out of the US trip without my parents. So, like any big trip on my own, it was filled with lots of culture, interesting people and exciting things to do.
Looking at the glassware and the pitcher brought back memories. The glassware was wrapped in newspaper now turned yellow with the printed date of 1982! My first instinct was to figure out a way to save these yellowing pieces of newspaper, representing occurrences in the past. Second thought, I couldn't keep anymore interesting items knowing that I have more things to get from my parents' house.
