Some of you may or may not know, but I am a 1940's buff. That being said, I ended up getting some food and gas ration stamps and tokens for my display, along with some 1940's era memorabilia. As I was showing them to my friend, his wife was reminded that they had some old papers from his family tucked away. She pulled out a box of old papers which included stock purchases from the teens-40's, and even an old paper from the US Army. Jim then opened the paper and found out what it is. Turned out, it was his great-great grandfather's discharge papers from the Army that was dated 1864... the American Civil War! The paper was in pretty good condition for it's age! Just thought I would share- it was such a cool find!
We did on his wife Barbie's phone. I will see them again this week... I will be sure to take a snapshot.

Uggh... Polish Kielbasa.... you know I am trying to get back in shape, right? ;-) Just got finished pulling an hour on the treadmill- Kielbasa sounds SO GOOD right now! And an ice cold Yuengling to wash it down. Small world indeed, my friend.
