~~~ Tip of the Week ~~~

BURIED TREASURE
by Michael Webb
http://www.TheRomantic.com/

It’s been about 30 years since I got together with a group
of neighborhood kids to create a time capsule. To be honest, I
don’t remember what’s in it, but I do remember where we
buried it. It was on top of a 4 foot hill in the Scheer’s backyard,
just two doors down from where my mom still lives.

The Scheer’s no longer live there but each time I visit home I
keep meaning to ask the new neighbors down the street if I can go
dig in their yard. It sure would be exciting to unearth the box and
look to see what items we decided to contribute 30 years ago. I
imagine I would get a good laugh at what we thought was
interesting three decades ago. I am sure it would bring
back lots of fond memories too.

It’s never too late to create your own time capsule, whether you’re
20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 (though a Centenarian might be pushing it a
little).  I think it would be interesting if couples would bury a
capsule right before their wedding and dig it up on their 25th
anniversary.  Or bury one on your 10th anniversary or hey, bury it
whenever your like.  You could include a newspaper from the day you
were married as well as many other mementos that are meaningful to you
as a couple.  Half the fun will be deciding what you think is
significant and worth putting three feet under.

One very important element would be the map.  No matter how good your
memory is now, it is not guaranteed to be reliable in the future.  You
can create the map in the *pirate’s treasure* style or just an
ordinary plotting map would be effective too.  Come to think of it, I
hope that hill in the Scheer’s back yard is still there.  Of course,
as a short pre-teen back then, an ant pile might be considered a hill.
We should have drawn a map.
