I normally don’t write on the weekends but M is on the phone and I’m waiting on him so we can finish up season 4 of Dexter. Awesome show if you haven’t seen it.
Anyway, yesterday my parents drove down to drop off some of my old stuff and to pick up a table and chairs from the house. Mom emailed on Thursday to make sure it would be okay and I said it was fine. Today M and I went over to the house to see what they had dropped off. We walked in to find a couple of plastic tubs and a few boxes. After eating our lunch I started to go through the boxes while M fixed a few things around the house. Most of the boxes contained stuffed animals, dolls, some books and a few other random things. It was pretty cool digging through the boxes and seeing all the old dolls and animals I had as a child. I made two piles, a keep pile and a goodwill pile. As I went through I showed M all the dolls/animals that were my favs as a child and put the others to the side. Now the “keepers” are neatly packed away back in boxes that will eventually move to our attic. :) The others were dropped off at the local goodwill for other little girls to hopefully enjoy.
Among the boxes was a lone gift bag. I looked in it and there was this orange and black thing. I was pretty surprised to pull out a baby outfit that looks like a tiger. I looked at M, he looked at me and we were both quite puzzled by this. Inside was a note with mom’s handwriting. This couldn’t be for us right? Does someone know something I don’t know? HA! When we got home I emailed my mom and thanked her for bringing the stuff down and asked about the baby outfit. She said it was something they’d had for a while. Apparently my dad saw it one day and had to have it and decided to leave it now. (And for those of you wondering why a tiger, I went to Auburn, GO TIGERS! 🙂 )
