blast from the past

When we were first married we needed to insure our contents.  We didn't have much, but what we had was precious to us.  As we were cleaning out some stuff for the move today we found these pictures of what we had then.  

The above picture still makes me laugh... VCR $200, Tape Recorder (pictured below) 1985, $100! 

This chair from the "broken" section of Ikea obviously needed to be recorded in case it was stolen.

I can't remember if this picture was to show the rose painting that Paul's father did, or our abundance of linens.

Golf clubs, enough said. Oh, and the vacuum cleaner that my parents gave us because they bought a new one.

Our Dell computer which we listed above at $3000.  I am sure that that some of you might remember that our office was a 6x6 storage room in our 400sqft apartment.

Our dishes were important to us, we bought them ourselves at Eatons for 70 percent off.

I am sure that I could go somewhere deep with this.  Talk about how in life we accumulate so much and  I am reminded about the fleeting value of our "stuff".  How the things we held as precious then we have all but given away or broken.  As I think about it, the only things that we still have are the rose picture and I think the golf clubs are collecting dust.  I could talk about how this move is again enforcing the truth that we don't take any of this stuff with us when we die, should I take it on my move ??  I could say all those things, but really, the laughter I get when I look at these pictures is what this post is really about.
