THE LOG CABIN

Treasures I keep in the log cabin
Inside the cabin
my beautiful cabin
Ask and you shall receive!!!!
Of course, I have my ol' log cabin!
How I have always loved and honored this box.
I am so thankful that when I was young mumsie and Daddy
took care of it for me.
I could play with it but only when being monitored and
only for small amounts of time.
I loved the inside pattern and used to play in my
fantasy life in that little cabin.
Probably why I love dollhouses and miniatures.
When I got older, Mumsie gave it to me
and it began to hold treasures of mines.
What treasures, you ask?
Well, everything in the first picture
(except for the coffee pot, Mikie Plaisance)
There is:
A PICTURE BUDDY GAVE ME WHEN I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL
A BEST AUNT PIN GIVEN BY RONNIE'S GIRLS
THE WATCH SIBLINGS GAVE ME WHEN I COMPLETED NURSING SCHOOL
JESI'S FIRST CURL
RODDIE'S BABY TEETH(he refused to let the tooth fairy take them)
THE CHAIN DONNA HAD ON WHEN SHE WAS KILLED
MY COMMUNION PURSE, VEIL AND CONFIRMATION CAP
RECOVERY ARM HOLDER THAT I HAD ON WHEN CAME OUT OF SURGERY
PICTURE OF TEDI GIRL
BANTAM FOOTBALL PICTURE OF RODDIE
LETTER RODDIE WROTE TO GOD
EVERY SILVER DOLLAR MY NANNIE EVER GAVE ME
GRADUATION RING
A KEY CHAIN OF DADDY'S
AND A FEW OTHER NUMEROUS THINGS
So next time you come to Aunt Lil's house,
look on top my kitchen cabinets where the
cabin is displayed for all to see
and ask me to take it down and share the stories
that live in the cabin.
Thanks for reminding me about the cabin!!!!!
