My old Air Force Master Instructor badge, some of our archery achievements, one of dad's "Member Montezuma, Iowa Fire Department " badge, a tea set that belonged to mom, and much more. One item brought back a lot of Junior High "stuff" - some good memories, and some not so good memories. The pictured wallet was one I made in shop class in, I think 1959. I really did love leather work. This one was retired some 15 years ago, but it is still serviceable if I wished to use it. I still enjoy leather work from time to time. About 14 months ago Carolyn asked me to repair a purse strap. Well, after purchasing a new stitching awl and wax string I was successful -- and that purse strap is still holding tight. I've found my old hardboard, hammer, tools and, well, almost everything I need to pick the hobby up again. I'm looking forward to it - once I finish my tidying process in my basement workshop.
I'm also thinking about a better refurbishment of the electronics in my very old Zenith radio. It is gonna be a wonderfully busy summer!
Enjoy your moments! Laugh and smile a lot!
