Did you/do you collect things? Things of value or things that have a place in your life?

35. For the most part, I like being out of doors and collecting memories while birdwatching, fishing, running, and cycling.

My friends are amazed at how I can remember specific events - like specific birds seen on specific outings.

Physical collections on the other hand include acquiring older cast iron. Picked up an old Griswold #8 Tite-top Dutch Oven recently. It needs a little love, which I'm more than happy to give it.

I've picked up a few smaller pieces which I plan on gifting to the kids so they can enjoy some of the meals they grew up with. Each is getting an 8" skillet so they can reheat mashed potatoes with cheese on top. I sent photos of their unfinished gifts with an accompanying leftover mashed potato meal and were thrilled.
