My husband and I entered our marriage with two matching items. We each had the exact same lamb Christmas ornament that our mom's got us at some Waukesha Service Club craft fair or something.The other item is our copies of The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. In many of my fits of downsizing and simplifying, I've managed to save both copies...taking neither to Half Price Books or selling them at my annual rummage. I'm not quite sure why, but it was just my instinct.
This morning on the Today Show they were talking about Salinger's passing at the age of 91. Meredith Vieira commented on how so many people have their original copies of his only published novel.I guess it says something about that novel. Of all the books my husband and I had when we moved in together...it was the only duplicate. I haven't read it in a long time. I must have saved it for some reason...guess it maybe time to give it another read.
