A friend asked me to explain the picture. It's tee-shirt a friend sent me a long time ago after I visited her. In honour of that visit and our friendship, I hung on to it for more than three decades. Recently, as I was unpacking after our latest move, I came across it and realized I was finally ready to throw it away - which seemed very very sad.
Ooh, I have such issues throwing away t-shirts that have memories/stories attached. I read somewhere, once, that someone took all the significant t-shirts and cut our the important part (ie: the Norwegian flag and 'from Norway with love') and sewed them altogether and then turned them into a quilt! I always thought it would be nice to frame the significant sections and plaster my bedroom in memories and stories!
I feel your pain. Have been forcing myself to get rid of as many as possible but there are a few from my youthful activist days that I expect I'll have until the day I die. Just can't bear to part with them.
