The Pleasures of Cherished Belongings and Memories
The simple things bring much comfort
I always saw candy as art.”
– Dylan Lauren
While I was growing up, candy was my favorite thing in the whole wide world. Times were much simpler.
As a kid, I also enjoyed scavenger hunts, which are the physical searching for trinkets. For example, my Aunt Velma planned an Easter egg treasure hunt for my sisters and me for one year.
I thought this was the coolest thing; the treasures were candy and trinkets. You should have seen the end prize; it was a beautiful chocolate Easter egg.
Thinking about this childhood scavenger hunt is a gift in itself, along with these other childhood memories.
My Grandpa’s coin jar
When we were kids, we would ride our bikes all around town. My grandpa’s coin jar always seemed to be filled to the top with coins.

We were always welcome to help ourselves to some change. So, several times a week, we would grab some money and head to the Nickle & Dime store.
