It truly is the items like this that have the lasting value. A couple of family member took everything of monetary value and tossed all of the touchstones such as this and our precious family photos when my grandmother died. These are the things I long to see and touch and bring her back to me in memories. Thank you so much for sharing yours.dragonflydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14066961126558621199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-52004095511003361542009-05-07T07:41:00.000-04:002009-05-07T07:41:00.000-04:00Boots, well that's good at least.<B>Boots</B>, well that's good at least.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-3233837147968171722009-05-05T14:22:00.000-04:002009-05-05T14:22:00.000-04:00I wish I had been there that day at the dining roo...I wish I had been there that day at the dining room table, Ruth.
