Do you ever glance at something and it brings back a memory?
It's that moment in time that opens up your heart to another place and time.
Sort of like hearing a song and oh my, a memory pops in your head!
Sort of like the aroma of early morning coffee brewing.
A freshly cut lawn...bacon frying, name it!
Well, these three little boxes remind me of my precious grandmother, they were hers and
I love them!
Yes, I've got some other treasures that were hers, but these melt my heart.
They are simple, yet beautiful.
I treasure her little boxes.
I remember them so well in her home.
I remember looking at them in her home, years ago.
They were sitting on her dresser on her bedroom.
She was such a special lady~
She dressed every day like it was a Sunday!
Always had a smile on her face.
Grandmommy was a fantastic cook too!
There was always that wonderful aroma when you walked in their door!
She lived to be just short of 100 years old!
A precious and beautiful woman, inside and out~
I collect boxes and have forever! I like to think I got that special love from her.
It's the little things...
It's the little things...
January 30, 1898- April 10, 1997
Missing and loving you more than words can say.
Till we meet again, Grandmommy~

My Mom, my Grandmother and my Aunt Jo!

ReplyDeleteNancy very sweet and heartfelt post. Yes I too have precious memories triggered constantly, memories keep our loved ones alive in our hearts. Very nice post. John's Uncle George lived to 103 and his Grandmom till 102, amazing.

That is a sweet photo,Nancy. I could sense your love and devotion for her. How blessed she was to have lived to that age. Her boxes are very lovely.
ReplyDeleteNancy,
ReplyDeleteHold close those memories to your heart, dear friend!!!
I, too, have heirloom items that give me great comfort!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Hello, lovely tribute to your grandmother. She was a pretty lady, beautiful family photo. The boxes are a nice memory and treasure for you. Happy February, enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteOh how special Nancy. I have a few things too. I never got to meet my grandmother as she died when my mother was 10, but my mothers oldest sister, Nell, was just like my grandmother and I loved her dearly. Have a few things of hers and often think of her. Memories are so special and yes they do keep your loved one in your heart.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful picture of your grandmother. She sounds so much like my Aunt Nell always dressed up and waiting for someone special to stop by.
Have a wonderful week Nancy.

Keep every memory..:)
ReplyDeleteI am the same way..never knew my grandparents though:(
Nancy that photo of you and your dear husband on your sidebar..is great.You both could have been stars in Dallas;)
What a wonderful picture that you've shared, Nancy! I can't believe that your grandma was nearly 100 years old!
ReplyDeleteI also read about your mom and hope that she's doing well and your dear hubby, too. God bless all!
Nancy, thank you for visiting my blog. I do appreciate your comments! This is a lovely tribute to your grandmother. Obviously a very important influence in your life.
ReplyDeleteThose boxes remind me of my grandmother's time; she had sweet things like that. A box collection sounds like fun!
ReplyDeletethey are really sweet.
ReplyDeleteNancy, I can definitely relate to the words and thoughts in this post. Things that belonged to my grandmother or mother are priceless in my mind. I don't have many things, but the ones I do have are very meaningful and spark wonderful memories.
ReplyDeleteNancy, this is such a precious post. I do not have any memories of a grandma. I was just a baby when my grandma died and my mom was really almost old enough to be my grandma when she had me! She was kind of both mom and grandma to me...does that seem strange? There are many little things that I have of hers that stir up so many precious memories of her! She lived to be nearly 98 and would be 103 if she was still alive today. I love the darling ceramic boxes...treasures you will always cherish!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty boxes, Nancy! The memories associated with them are precious. I only have one thing each from my grandmothers, besides photos, and I treasure those little things.
ReplyDeleteThree beautiful women. And your treasure is perfect. Memories are wonderful, life is good, you're OUR treasure Nancy!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely treasures. Love having something so special from my Grandmother. The photo is lovely. Wow, almost 100, that is awesome Nancy. Many memories to reflect back on.
ReplyDeleteHow precious! I just loved reading this and seeing the pictures. Brings back so many memories for me as well. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteYou and your daughters are part of a long line of beautiful, gracious women!
ReplyDeleteL-
Sounds like she was really a special kind of woman ♥

I have little from either of my grandmothers - in fact, just a few odd pieces of the wedding china from one (it was divided up amongst the granddaughters, not a really good idea) and nothing at all from the other. Your little boxes are precious - and so are the memories. Your grandmother lives on and on in them.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel... Miss my beloved ma-maw so deeply. So many sweet sweet memories. I hold them close and , like you, take comfort knowing we will be reunited someday
ReplyDeleteOh your boxes are so pretty and what a treasure in that they were your sweet Grandmothers! I only have a VERY few things that were my Grandmothers so really treasure each one. I was looking at an old post and saw your name and wanted to come back to visit! Have a great day!!!
ReplyDeleteJust thinking about you:) Love you my friend, HUGS and PRAYERS coming your way!
