I wanted to apply to be a puppy raiser for guiding eyes but Scott said there is no way I'd be able to raise a dog for 6 months and then give it back. He's probably right! I will be on the look out for cards I think you may think will be frame worthy..hahaFairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-55417511441929460142017-12-19T14:51:40.780-05:002017-12-19T14:51:40.780-05:00The first round of holidays without a loved one ar...The first round of holidays without a loved one are so hard.

I feel like handwriting is lost with so many people typing and texting or sending out photo cards that aren't signed, but it has her handwriting in it. I remember inheriting things like that from her house, too.

I read above about how he was in the military and that's why he dated everything, so interesting.

I have never heard of someone doing that before, but it's a clever idea. Like, who would ever guess a box of bandaids from 1990 would still be in use? That's a fun fact!
