Memory Mon 87~ Early Morning Sunshine Memories Under Dust

While I sit on my couch with my cup of coffee,

the early morning sunshine comes through the French doors

and presents the above picture.

Yes, I first see dust.

Dust on items that were not chosen as pieces just to decorate,

but to provide thoughts and memories.

Taking a closer look there is

1. The rocking chair given to us when our first child was born.

2. A rag doll made by our second child when she decided one day on her own to try the sewing machine.

3. A doll quilt made for me when a child by my precious Aunt Donnie no longer with us. 

4. A yard sale item acquired when Mr. G and I had reached the end of the 400 Mile yard sale.

5. A goose statute my daughter gave in a silly Christmas game we played and Mother won it.

6. A tin foil wrapped piece of cedar branch my grandson sent to me via his Aunt for last Christmas. 

7. Laying under the doll quilt is a "Joy" pillow my unofficial daughter-in-law gave me. 

8. The bronze flower pot holds "Just Because" succulents Mr. G. gave me last year. Still bright red.

9. The gourd was painted by me in a Homemakers class at church in my early days of Lexington.

10. Mr. G found the monster size pine cone cleaning my garage last week?

 

I enJOY looking at my memories.
