[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 605478, member: 84"] I dunno DDD. I know what you're talking about but when that time comes their minds stand a high chance of abruptly changing.........for all the right reasons. Nichole has extremely vague memories of her grandpa Oliver. She was two when he passed, but she was totally a papa's girl and he utterly adored her. (he did all 3 kids but he was a whimp for her big brown eyes lol) Oliver had brought back items from his tour in china in wwII. Nichole's husband had a cow when she wanted them. Would not go with his "modern" decor theme. Guy thinks he knows decor......actually he stinks and the place came off as non homey as you could get until Nichole took it over again. He absolutely loathed a pair of ivory book ends (huge) that were naked women in a striking pose. (I actually liked them myself) He broke one because she took them home. On purpose. She nearly killed the man. Since then he has had to swallow any objection to her bringing into the home what she received from her grandma when she passed........which was ALL the china things her grandpa brought home. Beautiful things, some valuable, some just plain gorgeous......each a precious memory. I went to get rid of books, some antique books. Kids had a royal fit. I think they did take some of them. I still have boxes more to get rid of. I love books but these are not quite my style per se and I likely won't read them. I'm sure someone else will enjoy them though. The kids have very little interest in their photos or photo albums, at least that I'm aware of. I know from experience that will likely change so I don't worry about it much. [/QUOTE]
