Treasure Tuesday

I first saw the idea for Treasure Tuesday over at Overwhelmed!'s blog. The meaning behind it is every Tuesday you post about something that is special to you. I thought it was a neat idea and wanted to participate, but just hadn't had the chance to yet.

I wanted to last Tuesday but I was too busy after just getting back from vacation. If I had been able to post then I would have posted my first treasure as my husband since it was his birthday on that Tues!

So instead my first official treasure post comes from a recent post I did about a picture of Kayla sleeping with her arm around her baby doll. (Almost Picture Perfect) This caused my mom to write a comment saying that picture reminded her of a picture of me sleeping with my arm around my Henry dog.

That in turn caused me to go find said picture and post about it. (Henry) My mom remembers the Henry dog more than I do, but I have the picture to prove he did exist! And I do remember my mom talking about this favorite stuffed dog of mine that I used to carry everywhere (I wonder whatever happened to him?)

Well from that post my stepfather (thanks Ken!) did a search on line and found out the Henry dogs have been reproduced and are available again! He bought one and had it in a package for my mom on Mother's Day. My mom sent it on to me. The tag on the dog explains the history behind it and how it came back and says, 'Many of your parents had me for a friend, and we shared lots of hugs together.' Now I have it to pass on to Kayla.
