Our Doorway Deco


The rusty wire baskets on the left, remind me of being
a kid going to the swimming pool.
They put your *dry* clothes in a basket with a number on it...
and a pin with the same number.
You better not lose the pin.
The old water cooler makes me think of pictures I have 
seen of family reunions at a park.
Family reunions I didn't go to because
I wasn't born yet.
The old mop bucket was given to me by a friend
in a church we used to be a member of.
I used it so much with a real mop,
that the wooden part wore out 
and wouldn't hold the screw anymore.
I still miss using that bucket.
I just planted some Ice Plant from my mom's garden
in it.  I hope it grows and grows.
I love little gas heaters.
We had a propane heater in the basement in the house
I grew up in.
The heat would rise to the rest of the house.
I thought everybody had a basement with a
propane heater in it.....
I thought that until I moved to Texas.
A state not famous for basements.

HEy, I remember having a water cooler like that when I was a kid!
And I guess you were surprised when there weren't many heaters to go with those missing basements.

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
