Every once in a while I come across something that gives me glimpse into a family member's everyday life, and I love it. This is one of those things. It is a to-do list that my paternal aunt made for a Girl Scouts Christmas party that was occurring on December 20th, probably in the 1960s.
She was going to ask one of her cousins to go to the party with her, so I'm guessing she could bring a date. She needed to buy one gift for a girl and one for a boy. Each needed to cost between $.75 and $1. She also needed to bring a soda and $.20 to a meeting.
I wonder if she had a good time at the party. Maybe I will come across a picture some day.
Every ancestor is more than just a name. Every one of them has a story. We are connected genetically, physically, and emotionally. We are who we are because of who they were.
