Melissa’s Cozy Teacup

When Tech Hubby and I were dating, he took me to his, then, downtown office on the 13th? floor of the Alamo building. He gave me a chocolate egg he had purchased in Germany while on a recent trip there (to see there were still flames between he and an old girl friend) and brought home. When I opened the egg, this little guy was in there and he melted my heart. The rest of the evening was quite romantic, looking down on the city lights and canoodling in his office. Later, on the way home, we stopped at a local tearoom that is open late and had dessert and tea/coffee. It’s hard to get Tech Hubby back there since it’s just not his scene. It’s kind of girly and he prefers a good cup of Joe. I kept this purple bird in my purse to pullout and remind me of those times. Now, he sits safe and secure on my book shelf where I pass by him frequently and he still reminds me of those fun times.
Do you have memory triggers you have kept over the years? I would love to hear about them.
