Considering last weekend's topic and this weekend's topic I would say that there is a lesson we can learn about what is valuable. Above all people and relationships. No object can even come near, but since today's topic is objects I will try to bring one for show and tell.
Right now I would have to go with my keyboard. It's a little heavy but it's precious to me. With out it I wouldn't know where to let out my frustrations. I don't own any Winchester riffle so the best thing I have to let out steam is to bang on the keyboard.
It's kind of sad, but very practical that most of many of my precious things today are digital.
I've been holding back...
This is a leather Bible a friend made for me. It is precious because of my relationship to this friend and the effort he put in to make this for me. He lives half way around the world but for I feel very close and I'm thankful to have him as a friend.
Precious
I play the piano, and have one of my own, so I understand how valued your keyboard is. A great choice. I also agree that it's a little sad that electronic devices tend to be our most treasured, or important things. I remember a time when this was not the case. I know, I'm so bloody old! 😀
I like that bible cover also, it looks really cool and also that you keep that friendship going despite the distance. Nice work.
I hope you're having a good weekend so far; what's on your agenda for Saturday and Sunday?
Hi @galenkp,
It's a beautiful day in Korea. I'm actually reading that Bible and now in the book of Numbers chapter 7. We are rearranging all the furniture in the house and one step closer into making our living arrangements livable.
I remember so many times waiting for the dial when other people bought high tech touch tone phones. I don't remember much more beyond the boom box and jogging head phones but since I was little I liked electronics and they always turned out to be be mostly a fad.
Are you still in the outback?
Lol, the boom box! One wasn't cool unless one had a boom box. 😂
Do you remember the Walkman? It used to play cassette tapes. The sound quality was terrible!
I'm at home currently. I've had a few interviews to do and this coming week I think I'll get an offer or two to consider and then will be back to work shortly, a week or two. Time will tell.
I'm glad you've got a good day over there and hope you make the most of the day.
I was a caddy at the golf course to earn money to buy a Walkman but by the time I had enough money to buy a Walkman my friend already bought a discman. That's life chasing after material. Someone always has something better. Try to have fun with work and the interviews if that is possible. I will try to have fun getting rid of my kid's elementary school stuff.^^
!LUV
<><
@galenkp, you've been given LUV from @mineopoly.
Check the LUV in your H-E wallet. (7/10)
Lol, that's awesome. Golf caddy to earn money for walkman. Ah yes,the good old days.
Good luck with your weekend and schoolwork for your little tacker. I hope you find some time for yourself also.
Damn. I sorta get the keyboard. I'm not even sort of musical so playing the radio is about the limit of my talents.
The music brought back a surge of memories. My grandmother was self taught on the Pianer and everything she played was either gospel or hymns from church. I've often wondered how she convinced my Grandfather that she needed a piano. He was not exactly frivolous with money. I know I heard 'Precious Memories' from her and I think Jim Reeves (on the phonograph)...
Beautiful memories

A precious friendship indeed. That is truly from the heart especially with all the effort that must have went into it.
Hahaha I heavily relate to this as well. I do have few items here and there that have practical value but quite a lot are digital. I am greatful to still keep hard copy books around for my leisure reading.
Even the books get heavy whenever we move from place to place @moon-city. But we still keep a load of books. Some of them we should really throw out. We haven't been to the library since corona maybe we should visit there now and work on organizing some of the stuff we don't need.

I definitely agree with you here! The books I have are relatively in good condition so I am aiming to give it away to a library near me so I can lighten up the load here in my house. I have not been inside a library either in a very long time.
Overall, the less things I keep around, the better I am able to manage them. My overall space stays less cluttered and cleaning is a lot faster lol. I see quite some perks of going digital
