“The Memory Book" by
Harry Lorayne tnd Jerry
Luca*.
Harry Lorayne, the world’s
leading memory-training
specialist and bis famous
disciple and associate, Jerry
Lues* of the New York Knlcks,
have combined
knowledge to produce a
that will enabie
remember anything
their
book
you to
the first
Happiness is many things
Sometimes it is closets, or at
least what is rat-holed away in
them
For the past couple of weeks
(key has been engaged in going
through closets and the
storeroom getting ready for a
pre-Christmas garage sale and
naturally just about as much
stuff got put back as was to be
offered in the once in a
lifetime sale
Most of the priceless goodies
involved the odds and ends put
up by our children over the
years I’m sure that some of
the boxes of treasures have
been saved dozens of times
from (he cleanup drives just in
case the kids ‘want the stuff."
Well, this week (he girls hit
home together in time to
reminisce through the boxes of
their girlhood days Bridget
opened a suitcase packed full
of Madame Alexander doll
clothes and other keen things
that went along with that age I
wasn't sure for a while that her
four-month old Janey was
going to fall heir to her
Mommie’s treasures as Biddie
glowed over each remem-
berance.
The real chuckles came
when B; idger got into a box of
fkey s old clothes from the
I940's And I suppose that styles
must have run the full circle as
Biddie came up with a suit that
was just a fit Ikey was pleased
as punch to be able to see what
size she actually was in the
I940's.
But after all of the
reminiscing 1 notice that all of
ihe little boxes of momentos
from years gone by are still on
the shelves of the storeroom
Maybe when the little girl
granddaughters get big enough
we will be able to entice them
into taking the trinkets home
with them.
Naturally, we had a good
time playing grandparents
over the weekend Our biggest
difficulty tame in convincing
granddaughter Janey that the
old foiks didn’t have horns. She
would have no part of grand
parents, and bowed her back
and vented her displeasure for
all lo hear. After slipping her a
couple of extra bottles that her
mother didn't know about, she
finally agreed to sit still for a
few minutes It was quiet when
they all left A peaceful quiet,
but (his didn't last long as
