While Meg was here last weekend, she spent some time going through the four memory tubs that she had stored here. Since I did not have as much storage space in our Florida home as I did in Syracuse, I was glad to hear that she planned to take them with her once she got move into her new home in Baldwin Park. I enjoyed listening to her talk about all of the items that she had stored over the years. Some were instantly put in the trash bag as she couldn't believe that she kept them in the first place. Others provoked precious memories that would last a lifetime. I was also glad to hear that she planned to keep a lot of the baby clothes in the hopes that someday her daughter or niece would be able to wear them. Since they had only been worn by one child, most were still in great shape, and the dresses were adorable.
Meg left the sorted tubs here until her next trip to Ocala. Since Doug was going to stay with her one night, I offered to reorganize them and send them with him. She appreciated the help, and I was pleased to see that I could now fit everything into three tubs for her. Meg sent me a picture later in the evening. She had been vacuum sealed a lot of her clothes and used the same process to store many of the items in the memory tubs. It was funny to see Lucy vacuum sealed, but I was glad that she made the "keep" list and that everything fit nicely in Meg's storage unit.
