Are you a collector? I use to be. Between my wife and me, I believe we have
collected just about everything. I
collected stamps when I was a boy. Didn’t
everyone back then? When I was in
college I collected nickels. Whenever I
got a nickel in change I put it in the groove that encircled my dorm room that
you were suppose to hang picture frames from.
I figured that way, I would never be broke.
My wife collected dolls. She had a couple of thousand of them until
she just up and sold them all. She also
collected Garbage Pail Kids cards.
Remember those? It just seems
things keep collecting around us, everything that is except money (grin). I started out years ago with one used three
inch telescope and now I have a bunch of telescopes of all sizes up to a big sixteen
inch one. We both have collected a lot
of other things over the years.
Now that we don’t actively
collect things it seems that things just seem to collect around us. Most of it is junk, but of course, it is OUR
junk and we have saved it for some reason or another. Now that I am on the twilight side of life, I
see no reason to collect things, but still have an attachment to what I have
already collected. Knowing me, I will
probably bring something else home, something that would either go with my “collections”
or just something new and different. Why
do people do things like that? I am sure
none of you collect things you don’t need, now do you?
Never was a collector. In the way junk to me,,lol.
