a collection of sorts

I have collected Bibles and other Christian texts and recently upon my grandmothers move to Atlanta discovered some amazing additions. Not only do I have my father's missal but I also the one of my paternal grandparents given by my great grandfather in 1950 as well as an 1870 book of poems. My maternal grandmother ensured that at my great grandfathers passing I received his German hymnal. the most amazing thing may have been the hidden treasures of notes and papers stuffed in them along the way. what an amazing gift...

i'll have to find out who this baby is!
