Inside the treasure chest...


















Grandma and Grandpa Lawton must have known something even way back then! This is so cute!




















A favorite find was a letter from Grandpa George to his grandson Gentry on his first birthday. It starts halfway into the letter because I started reading it to the kids and got a bit choked up so Gentry finished it. I like hearing Gentry read it better anyway. It is so sweet.

Yup, I teared up hearing Gent read it. I'd like to hear the rest of it sometime.

Aw - ditto! What a special grandpa. I've heard stories from Beth and sure wish I could've met him. Sounds like quite a man. ... what a gift. It's cool with Home Home on the Range playing in the background.

Awesome...and precious that years later it can still be shared down the generations!

How very special! This item falls into the "irreplaceable" catagory.

There's a lot of wisdom in that letter. Grandpa never missed the opportunity to provide perspective. Thanks for posting this.
