ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER

LAST WEEK WAS SPENT HAVING MAJOR PLUMBING REPAIRS.  SINCE THE WORKERS HAD TO GET UNDER THE HOUSE THROUGH A BEDROOM CLOSET FLOOR, EVERYTHING HAD TO COME OUT OF THE CLOSET.  IT'S AMAZING THE THINGS YOU FIND.

FIND NUMBER ONE.
ANYONE WHO WAS AROUND WHEN STEVE
WAS A YEAR OR TWO OLD,
I'M SURE REMEMBER HIM WEARING
THIS DARLING COAT.
MOST LITTLE BOYS HAD ONE OF THESE
"BACK IN THE DAY".
IT WAS STILL HANGING,
TUCKED AWAY IN THE "BOY'S ROOM" CLOSET.
IT'S PROBABLY BEEN THERE
FOR THE LAST FIFTY PLUS YEARS.

GETTING THAT CLOSET CLEAN,

LED ME TO STRAIGHTENING
THE "GIRL'S ROOM" CLOSET.
(Daryl has taken it over so cleaning it is impossible.)
HERE LIES FIND NUMBER TWO,
DANA'S CAMPFIRE VEST.

EACH BEAD SIGNIFIES AN ACCOMPLISHMENT,
AND WHEN YOU GOT TEN IN ONE CATEGORY,
YOU GOT A BIG BEAD.
THE FELT PATTERNS
SHOW HER CAMPFIRE NAME.
 

 AND FOR FIND NUMBER THREE,

FAST FORWARD A FEW YEARS
AND IT'S JENNY'S MODERN VERSION
OF THE CAMPFIRE VEST.
LOOKS LIKE BEADS
ARE A THING OF THE PAST,
AND PATCHES HAVE TAKEN OVER. 

HERS TOO HAD HER CAMPFIRE NAME
ON THE BACK.

HMM,
NOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM!
