Box of memories







 A few things from in the dome Some from when I was young
Bracelet blue from grade school , tennis pin ( my trophy from tennis match )
Ceramic dolls from a Great Aunt ,
Key ring of a tupperware bowl.
Blue pill box.
Two wooden peg dolls ,  Big one from a auction 
Small one My uncle was from Denmark.
His family had a farm over there .
The family sold it ,So from his share of money,
He could not take the money out of Denmark.
That's how I received  the doll.
My age was about 3-4years old.
 My mother saved it in her top drown of the dresser.
I saw my cousin daughter of the uncle.
Told here I would send it her for granddaughter

She loved Rose
In memory



My Sister Lois Ann 


In memory of my sister .....
She left us  last week.
She was the last sister older than me.
She was 82.
She had a stoke.
Very much a surprise.
 A wonderful way to  leave.
 I talked  to her about it.  
 She was okay with leaving.
Her kids sent her off. Very nice.  The way she liked things.
She always liked things to match.  Her earrings and all her outfit matching. 
Very classy.
  They did that for her.
Flowers were mostly Roses... She loved Roses!!!
 Arraignments were put in a roaster and a bread pan she used all the time.
Like her, very creative.
She was married to a man that was a large farmer.
She worked hard. 
She had a nice comfortable life.
I loved her dearly.

These flowers where painted on my bathroom door 
 Roses
