time capsule...

there is currently

a corner, pantry cabinet

occupying our kitchen.

on the inside,

it stretches from our countertop 

all the way up to above

our 8ft. ceiling.

it is 3ft. wide

and 3ft. deep.

it's always held

holiday, paper

napkins and plates

(on the 5th/top shelf),

a case or two

of sterno canisters

and plastic 

cups and dinnerware

(on the 4th shelf),

boxes of

pasta, rice, cereal,

and cake/brownie mixes

(on the 3rd shelf),

can goods

and jars of 

peanut butter, jellies,

relishes, chutney,

and 

special sauces

(on the 2nd shelf),

and

large containers of

sugars, flour, nuts,

oils, cooking sprays,

etc...

(on the 1st/bottom shelf).

(this cabinet,

though large,

has never been

very convenient...

as a matter of fact,

we have needed

to use a stepstool

in order 

to reach anything above

the third shelf.)

today...

it is empty.

today...

dale is going to take off

the door and frame,

replace them

with a large piece

of 

drywall,

and mud it closed.

~@~

today...

before dale performs

his magic,

we are going to place

items inside the cabinet

in order to create

a sort of time capsule.

in this time capsule,

we will place 

things

indicative of 

our life on the lane:

today's newspaper,

pictures,

low end currency (;-),

a can of die coke,

a bottle of wine,

one of katherine's baby blankets,

an old ball cap of johns,

a pair of my pajamas,

one of maggie's old collars,

a copy of this month's

kentucky monthly,

and

maybe a few other

odds and ends...

do you have any

ideas?

love and God's blessings,
