Subject: RE: Family Keepsakes: What have YOU kept?
Jerry, Loved your screen door rememberences. For some reason my Dad carried a small piece of Carrickmacross lace in his wallet. Would love to know the story behind it. I saved my Mom's hairbrush with a few silver strands in it. For 5 yrs. on the bathroom shelf, I had my husbands aqua-velva cologne. The smell brought him back to me for an instant.Then the tears-it held up damn well. I'm sure visitors thought I'd gone masculine. One of my best memories is a 8mm. movie of my Mom trying to hitch up a horse to a cart 40 yrs. after she left Ireland. Everyone betting and laughing at her. The horse got to town 10 feet ahead of the cart.
