Yeah, it's been an interesting few days... we've been trying to "declutter" our house in preparations to go house hunting and then selling our house (looking for something more 'retirement' friendly).
So... I've been going through my old stuff, finding old letters and photos from friends, resumes and work records, High School memorabilia, previous home photos, and the like. Brings back lots of memories.
Today, I was helping my mom go through her stuff. Lots of records and things of my dad's from birth certificate (he didn't have one and needed one to go into service for the war and got a "delayed" one), school records, military service, family name change records, and funeral stuff.
I've been scanning some of the papers to preserve the history.
