J.C. Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 The miniature silver urn that I wear on a chain it has some of Mike's ashes in. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelswife Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 My two dogs, Nigel and Pearl. They are a constant source of amusement for Joel during the day. When Joel is having a bad day and laying down, Nigel lays right close to him and stares at him with big brown eyes. They greet me when I come home like I'm somebody famous. I wouldn't trade them for $1,000,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 Gosh, I think the coolest thing I own would have to be my computer, as it makes it possible for me to keep in touch with all you guys every day!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I agree with you Ann, I would say my computer too. I certainly did most of my holiday shopping on there and didn't have to leave me house! I found so many good bargains. Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamataca Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 My dad died when I was 8. For Christmas that year, his older sister made my brothers and I each a book she had (hand) written and illustrated about my dad's life. She started with her memories of his early years, his army years, and wrote up until the time he met my Mom. I would have never known many of those stories without this wonderful gift. I still cherish it...and now my own children love it! Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindi o'h Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 jim, you look so dang cute in your car! I cannot believe that it could be anything other than spotless. I inherited a cameo locket from my great-grandmother that my Dad had given to her when he was in the army. I open it up and I have his boyish grin on one side and his christening photo on the other. I just love that my Dad loved her enough to save some of his beer money to spoil her. Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchurchi Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Well it took me this long to figure out what I own that could be considered cool. In fact I just bought it. It is a high tech indoor training bike that sets up just like my road bike. Now I can "ride" and not be away from Alan. Best of both worlds for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall54 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 My very small urn that has Alan's ashes in it. I also have the full size urn here that will be buried when the ground is opened when my Mother passes away as he will be buried with my parents.

J.C. Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Jane, I also have the big urn but it is waiting for my ashes to be mixed with those of Mike, later. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Well I thought about all the antiques I've purchased over the years...trying to pick something and then I realized that the coolest thing I own is my house. We've lived here since we were married and we've worked on it and fixed it up so its exactly what we want. We've done so much remodeling we've remodeled the remodeling we did 20 years ago. It's full of all the things I've collected and its decorated rustic like an old cabin. It belonged to my parents so its been in the family since the 40's. The Flint Journal actually did a story on our house (and others but we got the photo spread ) in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirleyb Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 The coolest thing I own is my digital camera. It allows me to capture those special moments, save them to the computer and print them out so I have copies to send to those that are electronically challanged...

Fall54 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 JC, My husband and I are doing the same thing as you and Mike. I wouldnt want it any other way! God Bless you, Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie221 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Well, I would certainly have a rought time doing without my computer and the internet. Jeesh, it's a way of life now and enhances my life incredibly. But the coolest thing I have is the WWI diary my grandfather wrote when he was 18-20 years old. He raised me (from birth and I've never thought of him as anyone but my dad). I found it long after he died and saw a side of my dad I'd never known - a very young man experiencing war. I transcribed it because the ink was fading. Leslie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 My coolest thing is my 2005 stratoblue Mazda 3. I am having the best time with it. Don Lucie says, for her: (1) Grandfather clock (I gave her for Christmas 20 years ago.) (2) Anniversary ring (I gave her about 14 years ago, for Christmas and not for our anniversary!)

dadstimeon Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Mine are more sentimental. All my daughters pictures, report cards, awards, certificates etc. Also my fathers flag given by the Marines at his funeral. He died when he was 40, I was 9. Someone gave me a flag case for a gift to keep it in to display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopeandstrength Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I think that my "cool" thing has got to be a big pineapple picture/art piece that we bought in Hawaii a few years ago. It is looks like a vintage sign for pineapple juice and is shaped like a pineapple. We went around and around whether or not to buy it and bring it home with us, because it was fairly expensive; but decided to and we all just love it!

shineladysue Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I agree with Ann. My computer has been instrumental in helping me open up an entire world full of love, kindness, and support. Finding all of you is like finding a gold mine. Can't imagine this journey without you. Thanks for asking, Ann. Love, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacake Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 My 1968 Datsun 2000 Roadster. And my cat is pretty danged cool. Just ask her. FLH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauriannessister Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Oh, this is hard to decide. I just got two 5x7 pictures of my sister - one where she is looking down at Calem, and one that is my avatar, that match the larger pictures my mom has. I made my mom and I matching lung cancer awareness necklaces, with a silver lung cancer ribbon on it. (It would be nice if some of the proceeds went to cancer research, but nice lung cancer awareness jewlery seems to be hard to find.) I have a little VW keychain that is one of the last things my sister gave me. But I think the thing I own and value the most is my photographs and negatives, because they are irreplaceable.

Fall54 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Lynda, How right you are! I would run into a burning house to save my pictures as they are my past and they are of the people I love most dearly. If I could only have one thing in my house, it would definantly be my pictures!!! I love you're what cancer can not take.

kim Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 My mom gave me a figurine of a mother angel with her arms around her daughter and it plays the song Wind Beneath My Wings. She gave it to me the Xmas before she died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
