Little Bits Here and There

Tidbits- that floral booklet tucked in there my daughter made for me

of my yard photographs.

The letter you see tacked to wall? My grandma and young father

sent sweaters to Europe during the war.

This a letter thanking them and the Mom mentions

hoping her children can return from the countryside soon -

families terrified of the bombings, sent their kids to safety .

Notice the address?

Venetia, PA USA America.

That's all it took back then.

Love these elves and deer

If there is a knob...

One of my prized possessions.

My dad gave me my grandfathers red plaid flannel robe,

and I wore it through college and well into marriage.

When it was so threadbare parts were really just threads,

I cut up what remained and made two bears. One for my dad and one for me.

Packages for cheese making keep arriving on my porch

via Amazon.

Ben is making cheese I gather. Woot!
