Kitchen Renovation

My Dad is renovating his kitchen so to help him out we thought we'd go through his cupboards and help chuck out any unwanted bits and pieces. What started out as a spring clean ended up becoming a trip down memory lane. We went through the mugs, everyone had their favorites with different memories attached to each one. A mug that was bought on holiday, a cup with a dog that resembles an old dearly departed doggie friend to another that was part of a set that we had in our first home. All important. Do we chuck them out? Then we moved to the cutlery draw. Surely that would be far easier? Not a bit, a few rusty knives went out. That was it. We had knives forks and spoons from different sets, all with memories attached. It made me wonder about normal peoples kitchen drawers. I bet they're neat and ordered without all the strange odd things like a garlic press and an old apple corer that we used every day as children. It was a crazy place to find these memories, but it gave us a good laugh!
