Grammy Mary has been on a mission to get her house cleaned out and reorganized. Part of doing that was going through her hope chest with Mike so that he could keep the things that were sentimental to him and Mary could keep the things that were to her. While it was certainly an emotional experience, everyone seemed to enjoy taking a glimpse back in time. Mary saved the receipt from their ( she and Ralph's) first grocery shopping trip. It was longer than an arms length and the total was less than 50 dollars!

Always an extra " helper":
It's a good thing Aunt Janet came! She and Mackenzie had a great time playing while Grammy and Daddy made their way through the box:
Mike prepared a salmon fillet and made
potatoes Au gratin from scratch for the
occasion! There were no left overs and Mackenzie ate more salmon than I did!

repurposed hope chest as it looks today:
It's a big hit with Mackenzie!
