Greg worked so hard today putting up my antique dinner bell. This bell hung at my Mamaw and Papaw's house for many many years, and I remember my Papaw holding me up when I was a little girl so I could ring it. It was always one of my favorite things at their little house in the country. When Papaw sold the house and moved into a retirement community, he took the bell with him and it stayed in my cousin Sandy's barn for several years. It now has a new home here, in our front flower bed. When Aaron reached up and rang the bell, I got teary-eyed hearing it again, it had been a long time. I am so glad that it made it's way to our little homestead, and I think that my grandparents would have been thrilled that their great grandson loves it as much as I always have!
Jill, that is awesome....I love the way you make your home so comfortable and inviting. It is just so full of your special memories.
