We helped my stepson move into his new house this weekend. I had just enough energy after we finished to duck in for a quick visit at the Goodwill Outlet and found a few treasures. There was a small pile of ephemera that I found in the corner of the last bin I rummaged through just as I was giving up hope I was going to find anything of interest. It contained cards and photos from Rosie and Charlie Hazel…and I learned from a quick internet search that she’d passed away last month and is buried not too terribly far from home. They didn’t have any children, so a lifetime of memories ended up in a bin of junk…which is sad…but it would be even sadder if I hadn’t stumbled upon these memories and find some ways to preserve a memory or two on their behalf. Even though I didn’t get home until close to midnight, I couldn’t resist making another digital collage.
