A Special Room!

In Dad and Sharon's apartment there was a special room. Dad's room! Dad couldn't ride his Harley anymore so one of the special things in Dad's room was his bike. We can't believe the things he kept and saved. One thing that just cracked us up about the room was that on this little table there was probably 100 throw away lighters. Dad never threw them away even though none of them worked anymore. There were toys out of cereal boxes on the table also. Jerzie loved to play with them.

The next thing you are going to see is Dads special shelf. For as long as Kim and I can remember Dad has had this shelf. We were never allowed to play with the stuff on these shelves when we were younger but we were allowed to look. So when it came time to go through the room Kim and I just kept looking at each other because we knew we shouldn't be touching this stuff.

If you look close you can see Dad's shot glass collection on the shelves. There are 3 shelves full of shot glasses and more in boxes.

We just kept saying "how do you pick and choose?" One thing that was said by someone was "if it is on Dads shelf it must mean something to him". That kept going through our minds as we looked at everything on the shelves.
This is his gun cabinet. We all chipped in to buy it one year for Christmas. Kim took it home with him because he has kids running around his house and we felt that he needed it more than us.

These shelves went all the way around his room. We put them up for him a few years ago because he was running out of room.

And here is his pride and joy. Kim is also taking this home with him. I know it means the world to him.

Great pictures to capture your dads room forever!!! I love it!! Not so much that now I will have to make a "special" room in my house too, lol. Just kidding, you know I could care less as long as he keeps all his stuff in the basement so the lil Jerzie rascal and the dog can't ruin any of it and so I don't have to clean it :)
