The phone would be to stay in touch with extended family. The photo albums would be to keep memories alive and also to pass down to future generations. The recipes would be to pass down to future generations and to maintain family traditions. Yes, food is a big part of our family.
Of these items, the phone would be most important to me. Keeping in touch with extended family is and will always be a part of my family culture. The photos and recipes could be retained in memory if needed.
My family culture is not about material possessions. It is more about family and love and the bond that connects us. Material things can be replaced, family cannot. Traditions can be learned by experiencing them. Memories can be kept alive by talking about them. Family, on the other hand, needs to remain close.

I agree with you that material possessions are not as important as people and relationships!
ReplyDeleteNice pics.
Hi Lynn, great choice of items. I think choosing your family recipes is a great idea because it will help you pass down through each generation a piece of family that no one can take away. Lovely, pictures of your family. Great post, I look forward to reading more wonderful blogs from you through out our course together!
ReplyDeleteLynn I enjoyed reading your blog on your Family Culture. You have agreat looking family. Two of the items you chose to take with you I would have never thought to take with me. The family photo albums, and 3 grandma's recipes. We all need memories of our family and food is a must to survive.
