Being older than Luxembourg, I realize itâs time to downsize.
For an inveterate saver (aka pack rat) who canât get rid of things, downsizing is bringing up from the basement a box filled with unrelated items, putting them into smaller boxes or files and recycling the larger box.
In a box I brought up recently, I found a big envelope marked âValentines.â In it were valentines I received when I attended grade school near Lester Prairie, a small town in Minnesota 51 miles east of Bird Island. Some of those valentines date back 82 years when I was one of seven first-graders in a one-room school with 27 pupils.
