Sewing Tin, Family History, The Girls and Lighting the Old Girl Up
Would you believe, that
I still have boxes to unpack?
Yep, about three or four.
I started working on the boxes the other
night. Reason for being
still packed, I gave away my
china cabinet, and most of this
stuff was in it.
But for now,
I thought I would
store them over
the fridge.
The cabinet above the
fridge is not like the
normal tiny ones that
used to be put above
the fridge....It stills out
a lot more over the
fridge making it deeper
which in turns, makes it
a lot more wasted space if
you don't use it...
so for now, I am using it.
Unpacking one box
I ran across this tin
that mom gave me many
many years ago.
A tin that belonged
to my great granny.
It was her sewing tin.
The stuff in there was
put there by my great granny.
She has been gone since I
was in the 10th grade.
WOW.....FOREVER
ago!
I would have to go back and
check but I think she
was 96 when we lost her
To me, she was an amazing woman.
She married, had four boys.
Hubs past from his appendix busting,
he was in his 30s.
She raised her boys, her two
old maid sisters moved in with
her and they all lived
together till they were all
gone.
On the left is my
great aunt Etta, middle is
great aunt Gusty and
my great granny.
Great granny with her boys.
Not sure which is which on
each end, the one right
next to GG, in the front,
is her son William and
in the very back is my
granddaddy.
Etta was the first to pass, leaving
the two ladies, then William,
moved in with them.
GG lost her hubs, both
sisters, and all four boys
before we lost her.
I had to be about to head
into my teen years when
this pic was taken.
Me, GG, oldest brother
Ray, and youngest
brother Mark.
GG is holding our dog
Pumpkin.
NO
quiz on my faimly,
aren't you glad?
haha
Let's just move on to
the girls.
Lily Bit was on the other
end of the couch from
me, just napping away,
so I had to snap a pic.
We have had a cold front come
through this week and
Misty has been
loving the cable box.
Both these girls make
me laugh!
FYI....in the pic with Misty is
a metal piece my younger
brother made for me...
its
The Painter.
This apparently happened
April 3, 2024.
AMAZING.
Do you like things around
your house like The
Painter? And do you
know some if not most
of your family history?

I know a lot of family history, but I bet there is more I don't know!
Your kitties are most adorable.
Have a fabulous day and week, Pam. Scritches to the kitties. ♥
