A Blast From the Past

I have started some spring cleaning and have discovered that we have accumulated a ton of clutter this past year! Ever since Christmas, my sewing room has become the "dump everything in here" room to the point that I could no longer sew! I have spent hours in there and it is better, but I have hours of work left. I also cleaned out my closet. This is what we have bagged up so far to be donated to charity:

Yes, that is nine bags of miscellaneous stuff, a tv, a Christmas tree, and a car seat. And I'm not done yet!!

In all the cleaning out of closets, I came across these gems:

I remember when my Walkman cassette player was the stuff! And look, the newer one on the left even has FM/AM radio! Score! We have a birthday party to go to tomorrow evening for a friend who is turning 40. The invitation says to bring a gag gift - no problem! Walkman cassette player, anyone?

LOL! I remember saving up all of my paper route money to buy a Walkman and feeling so very cool once that exciting bit of "new" technology was in my hands. :P

Ha, ha, Amy! I saved up for both of these with babysitting money! I was in 7th grade when I got the black one and 9th grade when I got the grey one. What I really want to know is why, oh why do I still have them?? I have apparently moved them from TX to OH, back to TX, and once again from one city to another in TX. How are they just now catching my attention??
