If you've spent any time at all reading this blog you know that I love treasure. You also know that I consider some things treasure that others would consider trash!
Collecting is fun as long as you don't let it get out of hand. One thing that I seem to have started collecting is dictionaries! I have spell check (thankfully) but I reach for my dictionary first! Why? I love books!
All these new E readers that everyone raves over....nope....not me! I know that we should never say never but this is one time that you can bet and take the money to the bank. I will never be an E reader person! I want the touch of turning the pages, the feel of the book, the smell, everything that does not come with an E reader. And, you don't find unexpected treasure tucked inside and E reader.
While looking up a word in my favorite, old, dictionary I found the following tucked inside...
I know you can't understand why I consider this treasure. Here's the thing, the calendar is 1975! The year Hubby and I got married. This little piece of paper has been safely tucked away for 37 years and has not a yellow spot, nor tear. All the holidays from that year are circled in red. Memories! Of what I was doing that year. Simple, not a money maker, but a treasure just the same!
Would it be awesome to find a treasure that was worth gazillions????? Sure! However, that more than likely will not happen and so I will continue to be content with, and keep watching for, and recognize....unexpected treasure!
