Santoshima Resident: hi Korel :)
Lucinda Lavender: curious to hear about it ...
Eos Amaterasu quietly listens
stevenaia Michinaga: we have these rolls of camera film that we never developed, piles of them, so every now and then we take a few to the local drug staore and get them processed not having a clue when we took them
stevenaia Michinaga: like a suprise bag of memories
Lucinda Lavender: :))
stevenaia Michinaga: these were of my son's 6th birthdya party and a few family event (he's 22 now)
Santoshima Resident: wow
Santoshima Resident: and it came out ok?
stevenaia Michinaga: yes with a bit of editing, they are still good
stevenaia Michinaga: so ... while was scanning I have this other box of memories filled with 40+ year old letters
stevenaia Michinaga: I offered to take a look at at some that I haven;t opened for 40 years and send them to the originator as I just began speaking to them after 40 years through a FB connection
stevenaia Michinaga: (scan)
stevenaia Michinaga: last time I did that the person suggested that they invented a shredder for such things :) you never know how people will react to their past
Santoshima Resident: :))
Lucinda Lavender: yes ...
stevenaia Michinaga: so, remember very little about about what was written to me I began counting and sorting and realized there were almost 40 letters, far to many to even attempt to scan
Eos Amaterasu: touching across a wormhole in time :-)
stevenaia Michinaga: perplexed about where to begin, I decided to scan (and read) the first (1969) and the last (1974)
stevenaia Michinaga: the first was about me running away to Az with a friend ... I had no idea who that would have been ... the last was about my friend running away to the Mediteranian. I thought that had a nice balance to it in a teenager kind of way
Santoshima Resident: lotta running
stevenaia Michinaga: san?
Santoshima Resident: a lot of running
stevenaia Michinaga: nods, she did travel , I never did
