Antique Schoolbooks

One time I wanted an old genealogy book, but it was too expensive. I visited it several times, 😂, and told my daughter about it. It had pictures in it, that I loved. She bought it for my birthday and I wanted to cut those pictures out and hang them on my wall. But she said, no, don’t.

She said when I die she would want the book back, in one piece, so she could sell it and get her money back. 😮. It reminded me of a time when I wanted a bride doll for Xmas. I was dying for such a doll. I got the doll. It came in a blue box and was about 24 inches high. The dress was gorgeous. It was everything I wanted.

My mother said I couldn’t play with it. I’d ruin it. I had to leave the doll in the blue box and leave the box in my closet. What was the point? Mother caught me with it once, and I was beaten. When my daughter moved, I gave the book back to her. There was no point in keeping it.

If you want to keep the books, Deb, then keep them.
