  • Wool is scratchy

    Here are some wool socks I had in my booth at Christmas time.

    Growing up we kids had dad's green wool army blankets and they scratchy and itchy.

  • Kibble

    We don't give our dogs Kibbles but we give them Pedigree.

    My hubby gets their food or I would get them something different once in a while.

    They like any kind.

  • Easter Sunday

    Here is mother at the nursing home and my sister who doesn't like to be on the internet who I share the antique booth with and my little brother Brooks.

  • I just wanted to be a contender

    A couple years ago I won the prize for the best photo taken of our downtown area at Christmas.

    The prize was a pie from the bakery.

    My photo was the only entry so I was the winner. I called to ask who won but I already knew.

  • Deviled eggs and tomatoes

    042

    I have nothing on tomatoes but I like to eat them from a garden.

    Here is my little grandson Reid hunting eggs at the nursing home.  The four year old brother Reece is already on the other side.

    Reece ate about four deviled eggs before I moved them to the other table.

  • Easter Bunny came

    045 (2)

    Easter Bunny came to the nursing home after we all went to chapel.

    There is a story in our family about how the Easter Bunny over slept and you know; he always comes while you're at church.

  • My sister's photo of Ireland

    My sister went to Ireland to visit our roots in Shannon.

    My mom said in Poland  they took what they would cook on Easter Sunday in a basket to have the priest bless it.

    Maybe that is where the basket came into the story.

    We believe in the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  • Old writing or penmanship

    IMG_0359

    I like to look at old photos and the handwriting on the back at the beautiful penmanship.

    Sometimes people even sell old stacks of letters held together with colored ribbon.

    I had to use refillable pens in school back in the 50's and didn't care for them.  I pressed too hard and bent the tip of the pen.

  • Good Friday and ghost

    232323232fp437;5_nu=3247_957_489_WSNRCG=3773888338327nu0mrj

    My dad always got Good Friday off from work by his employer. I think it was still a special day back then.

    In our family we expected to see ghost.  I guess to some people that sounds weird but it's comforting to me.

  • Steeple and Youth

    One of the first things you teach a kid is how you make the steeple of a church and how all the people are inside.

    My favorite quote is, "youth is wasted on the young."
