1957
Fifty one years ago, my husband's mother and father left Ireland with their two children. They left several boxes of belongings behind in a relative's attic. The boxes were repacked sometime in the Seventies and moved twice.
Earlier this month, we got to explore those boxes.
Among other things, we found several toys, which we brought back to the States with us, to return to their original owner.

That is wonderful. What a fantastic story. My dad's family is from Ireland and he and my mom have been once. It's my dream to be able to go.
That must have been so much fun going through the boxes :)
Susan, I love that dog very much.
Oh Taryn, if anyone gets the dog besides my sister, it's me! Sorry, but that's just how it's gotta be!
But if I do get him, you can visit him!
gerry...
What a great story!
I'm happy that the toys will be reunited with their owner. :)
Wow, it must have been like opening a time capsule. I love the toys - especially the telephone.
