Exercising Restraint

One of Linda’s favorite movies is The Long Long Trailer, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047191/.  The newlyweds collect rocks as they travel across country in their trailer.

In our newlywed years of travel, we collected mugs…

and refrigerator magnets.

Linda continues to add to her postcard collection that started as a child.

Some of her postcard purchases are mailed to friends and loved ones, and others are scrapbooked memories. Rob usually purchases a t shirt for his souvenir.

Although we both enjoy a good browse in a souvenir gift shop, we really tried to exercise restraint from accumulating a mass of items that require care, and upkeep as well as deplete our wallet of necessary operating funds.
