WDWEPCOT,
older things along with family and friends who we have had in our lives for years, are often unique and extra blessings indeed. Of course, new friends such as yourself, Eksmama, and our own dear thread starter, PollyannaMom, are daily blessings to me, too, along with all of you kind friends who help keep this thread going.
Eksmamama, I'm blessed with height at at just under 5'9". Grandparents, were sure instrumental blessings in my life.
your own (all of you in this thread) were likewise. How very special to have your grandma's
For my own older things, including memories that go along with them:
1 Benjy (dog) and Minty (rabbit) two much loved stuffed animal friends from my childhood. Both made a difference to me bigtime growing up. Memories of family and friends from my grandma and dad to church pastor and Bible study friends tending to both animals with loving stitching up care are dear to me as well for the blessing of the people behind them.
2 I drink hot chocolate out of a teacup of my grandma's. It's the perfect smaller than regular coffee cup size and lighter, too. I honestly don't remember grandma specifically using it. I do know that she picked out the Corelle dinnerware set that it's from. When I was younger, she along with my grandpa, often had friends over for game nights or just to visit with. Grandma always served coffee and possibly also tea on those evenings. Dad and I use daily the plates and bowls from this set.
3 Dad and I both have long-used bed pillows that we each rest our heads on each night. My own pillow was part of my childhood. Flat yet soft (I'm not comfortable lying on a puffy pillow) it's helped me to
so very many nights indeed.
, that I got my Dad for Father's Day a couple years ago when he needed some extra encouragement. Billy has brought us both comfort and cheer.
Eksmama, thinking extra of you
I haven’t seen one of those in forever !!!
