I Really Did Find Treasure!

Remember how I wrote in my earlier post that I felt like we were a bunch of modern day Goonies on a treasure hunt as we searched for my birth certificate, Modern Philosophers?

I had no idea how right I actually was.  During the hunt, I came across an envelope of photos sent to me by my older sister.  I set them aside to look at later in the day.

Well, I finally went through them and discovered something incredibly valuable…

It’s a photo of me with my Mom!

My Mom died when I was 3, Modern Philosophers, and I have absolutely no memory of her.  The two photos of my Mom and Dad together on my mantel are the only ones I had of my Mother.

To suddenly have one of us together, was a Christmas miracle!

I shared this first on Facebook, and one of my friends commented on the look of love on my Mom’s face.  This treasure has certainly warmed my heart on a chilly December night.

This classic was also in the envelope.  Look at the charming smile on my face.

I bet Santa Claus brought me everything I requested that year.  How could he say no to a face like that?

Finally, there’s this classic.  What is up with that disinterested look?

I bet Santa made a crack about my sweater vest, and I was doing my best to keep my mouth shut so I could remain on the Nice List.

Hopefully, I asked Santa Claus for a new wardrobe that year.

I love that the backdrop in the Santa photos is exactly the same both years.  That department store really knew how to pinch a penny.

It really was a treasure hunt, Modern Philosophers.  I guess it ended up being a very good thing that my birth certificate went missing.

Happy Friday!  Prepare yourselves for a visit to The Think Tank because that post will be coming up soon…
