Leap Year

     I am doing something for the next few days that was actually an idea I got from facebook. Since it is Feb. 29th I am doing a time capsule. The actual suggestion was for you to gather all your information from today. But I have decided the way my family is scattered and working it will take a few days to get everything together. I did print off the gas prices for today and a Mcdonald's Big Mac meal menu to put in just to see how inflation is in 4 years. I thought this is not only going to be fun but it will be exciting to open up next leap year and see what has changed. They suggested things like family pictures, pictures of the house and pets, a newspaper from today. But I don't want all of todays news just the things I think are going to be really changed in 4 years. I do plan to see if I can get each of my family members to write down things in a letter like what they expect to be doing in 4 years. Where do they see their self living, working, going to school, just in general what they see their life being like in 4 years. Then we will seal the envelopes without looking at each others, put them in a can and seal them and no one gets to peek until next leap year. Then we can all get together and see what we have done or not done and how close we followed what are in the letters. Oh and no one should forget to put in these letters all the things they hope they have accomplished or things on their bucket list they want to complete. This could be a fun family project. Don't forget to add pictures of you and a friend or two either so you can see how each of you have changed.
     I have just the container in mind and I can't wait for everything to go inside and be sealed up for the next 4 years.
