It's tough in my house because my husband was there for 6 years before I moved in, so a lot of the stuff tells his story, not mine or ours. But, that's evolving, and the house is becoming ours. I love the stories behind all my husband's stuff. Just a few objects tell a lot about him.April Plummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000526454256802504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178848256551614320.post-28809576136828609122010-07-26T11:50:54.621-05:002010-07-26T11:50:54.621-05:00I love that picture and the story behind the objec...I love that picture and the story behind the objects.
