Black box

This was a freebie from a store for having purchased X dollars worth of other items. It's a storage box, meant to store 4 x 6 inch photos — the areas on the box lid are to display photos too. I thought I would use it to store something or other, but it has stayed empty for many, many years. I don't have anyone in mind to give this to, so I will put it into the pile for donation.

High school confidential

If you’re not related to me and you give me grad photos of your children, this is official notice I might not keep them forever. The woman who gave me these dumped me as a friend — in a phone message — because I visited her ex-husband (I had been friends with both of them when they were married) in the hospital after he suffered a medical emergency. These photos have been propped up on one of my bookcases for enough years now. The kids are grown; she’s probably not talking to them anymore either.
