When I was a teenager, I did some a really odd thing. In my room, in my dresser, I kept a photo album.
In that album I kept my memories, neatly organized, all dated in chronological order.
In the beginning there was a photo or two. I saved movie ticket stubs with the date and name of movie on it. As I continued to fill the pages, I saved straw wrappers and candy wrappers, each with it's own special meaning. I saved little notes and included greeting cards all dated in the upper right hand corner. Score sheets from card games, a feather I found on the ground had special places in my special book.
Odd, I know, but on each page, filled from left to right, carefully placed, depicted a meaningful memory for me!
Well, you give us some items, but leave it up to the reader to guess at what memories might be attached to each item. We feel pretty cheated by the end.
