Time capsule........

I've been assisting Mrs. Lime's grandmother with getting her home in order. She's going to be moving down to live near Mrs. Lime's uncle where they can keep a close eye on her.

Just a few things that I found:

-Old music from the middle part of the 1900s
-Several newspapers announcing the first man on the moon.
-Old pictures of Mrs. Lime's family members, including her mom.
-An autograph book from 1936/1937 where Mrs. Lime's grandmother collected notes from friends/family.
-Sewing patterns from the 1950s. Some wacky clothes in that drawer.
-Several carousels of slides that we haven't even viewed yet.
-A spiral notebook used by Mrs. Lime's mother in college. Lots of doodling in it along with some notes to her friends/boyfriends, including Mrs. Lime's dad.

I've got plenty of stuff still to go through, but some pretty fun stuff thus far. I'm sure there's plenty more to be found.
