A-Z 2014 Challenge D is for Dientes

The Tooth Fairy's Stash  April 4, 2014


Los dientes de la sabiduría = Wisdom Teeth  
~~~~~
I came across this little tin of treasures
the other day ~ packed away in a box
that I hadn't opened in decades.
Besides my children's baby teeth here
are my youngest son's wisdom teeth
 removed when he had to have braces.
In addition there are matches from a friends
 1975 wedding, our beloved Fred's
obituary from 1978, a compass, my high
school graduation watch, dice from
dungeons and dragons and other 
"treasures" from long ago. 
After taking this photo I carefully 
placed the tin back in the box and 
put it back up on the closet shelf.
Somethings are best left to rest.
~~~~~
The A-Z Challenge requires that we
post a blog each day in April except
for Sundays for each letter of the 
alphabet. Today the letter is D.

  4. How interesting that today we both published posts about containers for precious objects. They say great minds think alike... I have no idea who THEY are.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
