Bye-Bye Bubba

A 2011 road trip to Destin, Florida, via New Orleans, with the kids, was one of the highlights of our 3-year stay in Houston. This t-shirt was bought in NO for our son. He wore it well until it was too small for him, when I took ownership of it. I loved that t-shirt. It was soft, comfortable, just the right fit, ... but it had to go as it has definitely passed its use-by date! It took me a long time to finally cut it up for dusters. So there it is. A t-shirt no more, but I will have reminders of it when I get the duster out! Farewell Lovely T-Shirt.

What a lovely story and great idea! I often cut up old cotton shirts of hubby and use them for cleaning or plolishing brass.

What a lovely story. We had a two-night stay in New Orleans this year, and I loved it. Most of our cloths were originally towels or t-shirts. Does anyone actually buy cloths/dusters?? 😊

Lovely photo and story, it’s sad to say goodbye to well loved things

[Gosia]

Great story

Such a lovely story of this t- shirt... loved to the end & now a handy duster full of memories.

[Wylie]

it would be gathering dust with my other dusters here!

Oh, what a sad but wonderful story. I remember David having a pair of desert boots that he bought when we lived in Cyprus. He has strange, shaped feet but they fitted perfectly and when the shoes finally died, we nearly had to play the Last Post for them before they went in the dustbin.

I am sure every time you do the dusting you will smile with beautiful memories.

Now that it's a digital image on the Internet, I'm pretty sure your much loved shirt will live forever.

[Casablanca]

And there it is......I was waiting for this today! Nice to see your much loved t shirt remembered forever now.

Lovely story. I'm having trouble reclassifying my favorite clothes, too.

Nice to have all those memories

[Pat Knowles]

The T shirt still looks soft & comfy. You had your moneys worth but it’s also about the memories it’s made. A good buy!

[Tunia McClure]

Come back and get a new one.

[Phil Howcroft]

[Joan Robillard]

Tshirt gone but not the fond memories

[Corinne C]

A great pic for the story of the tee-shirt. I can become emotionally attached to things when they remind me a person who is dear to me.

[Islandgirl]

Great story, the t-shirt that never died!

[Shutterbug]

Love your story and glad it is still useful and a reminder of your trip.

[eDorre]

Great full frame and story! Dust on!

[Christina]

A lovely reminder of a time. Great story

[Judith Johnson]

Ah, fond memories. So you also cut up t-shirts for cleaning cloths!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I feel your sorrow- several beloved sweaters have been cleared from the closet for the same reason. RIP Bubba!

[Kathy]

I would guess that part of the difficulty is binning the memories, but you can still remember the trips every time you use it as a duster or cleaning rag.
