Grandpa and his wonderful O.C.D. quirkiness will live forever in our memories and now, also with the fans of your blog. Seeing how meticulous Grandpa was about cleanliness, it's no surprise he collected napkins. It must be a combination of his experiences in the war, seeing how wasteful we are as a Americans and his compelling need to ALWAYS have a napkin to keep himself clean. Besides, an extra napkin comes in handy after a cigarette and a shot of whiskey. <3 Grandpa!lshih003https://www.blogger.com/profile/02743993531102260641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324453598386008803.post-79031397901747903972010-06-08T16:14:17.355-07:002010-06-08T16:14:17.355-07:00I'm loving this blog, I almost wish I had an i...I'm loving this blog, I almost wish I had an infinite garage. <br />Since hoarders get attracted to the emotional history and value of objects, for you it must be doubly hard since it is the history of the objects and what they meant to your family, _and_ what that connection means to you. <br /><br />Keep it up, I love that you are freeing the stories of all these objects from being just "hoards" into living memories...Benhttp://ben.kirman.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324453598386008803.post-81515407940792495822010-06-08T10:27:58.356-07:002010-06-08T10:27:58.356-07:00sweet! jade, i was thinking of making a short vide...sweet! jade, i was thinking of making a short video of sneaking the napkins back into the dispensers. do you want to direct?
