Ok.....it's official......I have lost my mind!
I've been doing The Major Purge~a~Rama at Your Chez Diva for the past few months.....I've been moving SOME of this stuff around with me for years!!!
And I have a pretty serious collection of Beanie Babies (oh the joys of being a teacher!).....I had 2 boxes which I thought I'd consolidate into one big Rubbermaid tub. (No, as a matter of fact, I'm NOT getting rid of them!) Dumped one box.....lovely. Dumped the 2nd box ~ which was bigger ~ and at the bottom of that box (which became the top of the tub!) fell ~ oh, probably 100 letters....old letters! They date back from the early-mid 1940's! And they are from a young Marine to his mother. She lived in Iowa. He was stationed in CA. His first name is my daughter's first name!
I know. Eerie.
Here's the deal.......I don't know WHO this guy IS! I don't know WHERE those letters came from!!!!!!! (I swear, if ANY of You say...."They came from California, Diva" I'll smack You over the head with a big ol' smackin' thang!!! I mean it! )

It's sorta freakin' me out a little.......
His penmanship is lovely, though!!!
