I am looking at boxes for the next few weeks and have come
to realize I have lots of boxes and that we like things that come in nice
boxes. Did you ever buy an apple product? Great care was given to having a box
with exactly the right fit. The same is true for products that come from
Levengers. Levengers sells pens and fine writing paraphernalia. I am going to
focus on important boxes or boxes that hold treasures.
Well today’s box is about 48 years old. I made it when I was
ten with the help of my Mother’s father who we called Pop Pop. By the time I
was ten, Pop Pop was pretty old but he
still had wood shop in the basement of the home in Yonkers, New York that he shared
with my aunts, Fredi and Helen. Each summer when we would go visit he would
spend some time with me and my brothers working on wood projects. My projects
were made from scraps which reflected my skill level.
For the next few years I used this box to carry my books, drawing
materials and other stuff that I took on vacation to amuse myself. In those
days cars did not have DVD players in fact the DVD had not yet been invented.
So while traveling we read or played license plate games to amuse ourselves.
This box now lives in my garage where it holds sandpaper.
