Journal entry 13 May 2011 – There have probably been a hundred moments – words said, observed behavior, snatches of conversation, a thousand impressions perhaps, like confetti sparkling in the air all around me as I walk through time.
I never threw away a single piece of paper from my childhood. I have the notes, the diaries and journals, school essays and even the Peechee (folder) with all of the signatures and sayings of my friends on it. The stuff came in handy when I wrote my memoir. I have the receipts! You have such magic moments. I love that the words from the newspaper appeared just when it did.
The cellar is old stone in Portugal? Imagine still having that treasure trove. From so many moves I have gotten rid of, or lost, my own baby silver spoon, silver rattle, baby shoe preserved in bronze, a postcard from Shirley Temple, and so much more. I wish I had them yet so glad I don't a I'm having trouble letting go of all I still have and the more I've accumulated.
I identified right down the line with you, I was a nanny on Nantucket, hitchhiked in Greece, all that stuff. Love, Joyce

That was definitely a magical moment, the icing on the cupcake 🧁

Hi Joyce!
No, this was my old house in Asheville, from several years ago. Always lovely to hear from you, glad we have so much in common! 🥰
