It’s the week of Thanksgiving, and here at Preservation in Pink, each day of the week will be dedicated to a different subject of preservation thankfulness.
Monday Thankfulness. Tuesday Thankfulness.

Today I am thankful for memories. Memories forge connections with places and those places become important to us. Good memories, nostalgic memories, make our hearts swell and give us a sense of peace. They give us a fond story to tell over and over and images to recall when passing through. Memories keep us grounded, remind us who we are and where we came from; they provide hope and comfort and guidance. Without our individual and collective memories, we would not know what was important to our ancestors or what might be important to our descendants.
Long Island, NY beaches hold some of my favorite memories.
The long leaf pines of the Sandhills Region in North Carolina.
Memories should always include a cute kitten. Here's a baby Izzy.
Take time to wax poetic on your memories and be grateful for them. They’ve made you who you are.
