It came to me afterwards, and my son grew up with it and loves it, so I gave it to him early.)Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156773205591631053.post-71617371643509016392017-03-06T14:58:46.032-08:002017-03-06T14:58:46.032-08:00His money's worth indeed!

How special to realize that it also marked the moments of my friendship, with that special couple. The many hrs. we spent around their welcoming table, eating, drinking coffee, discussing crops, gardens, flowers, & daily life, all marked, by the hands of that clock, staunchly clicking forward, each click, extending our friendship, into minutes, hrs., days, & years. <br />Thank you Bev. for enhancing my memories, with yours. I feel as though, I've glanced once more into the faces of your sweet parents, checked the time, in that third face, & logged time once again, into their lives.BHLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257132480527307229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156773205591631053.post-17083980410534672512017-03-02T11:35:14.757-08:002017-03-02T11:35:14.757-08:00What a wonderful story... how it was won and how i...What a wonderful story... how it was won and how it became part of you is simply woderfulbrudberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563403553536472377noreply@blogger.com
