LET THERE BE (FLASH) LIGHT

5/31/2016

PictureOut of the blue, the royal blue to be exact, there was another flashlight... and yes, yes we do still own a landline.
This morning I noticed that another one had appeared. This one, bright blue, showed up front- and-center on the catch-all tray I keep on my bedroom dresser.

Whereas my Dad had a thing for guns, and if called to form a Union County Militia, would have outfitted Brownsville Township nicely, my husband is partial to flashlights.

Along with the newbie on our dresser, there’s a pantry full of them steps away in the laundry room. Next to the front door is a coat rack and on it hangs a mini-flashlight, ready for service. In the kitchen junk drawer is at least two flashlights, probably more if you dig deep. He tucks them in our cars too.

If there’s a midnight intruder, Brian will likely spotlight the whites of his eyes before the robber sees ours. And if the power goes out, no problem, there will be light. Flashlight, that is.

As for fresh batteries … that’s another topic.

We may end up in the dark after all. What are your possession obsessions?

Oh, and at least one in the junk drawer. Impressed by the batteries? Don't be. Most won't fit the flashlights.

Possession obsessions: Sometimes, it is obvious when we walk into people's houses, isn't it? One of my sons is like Brian, he likes flashlights, but LED flashlights in particular. For me, I guess it would be my kids' childhood memorabilia. (I have boxes of stuff that capture that season of their, well, our lives. And toys and clothes for the grandkids someday!)

I have so much paperwork of every kind! My most recent added to the collection: a box of my grandma's papers from 1964 that my brother passed on! We are the family archivists!
