I have a rocking chair from my husband’s family. And this lovely post you’ve written has inspired me to write about that rocker on my blog. Thanks for a lovely post/pictures, and an inspiration! (This little guy doesn’t particularly apply, I just wanted to use one of those cute little options you give!)

I do have something my grandmother made for me – a Raggety Andy. I also have her old Singer sewing machine. But I would still like my youthful energy.

Kacey, this is off-topic, but do you have any idea what’s going on with Christine at the Hogue Chronicle? I check her site all the time. She last posted on 6/13. I’ve sent her e-mails but never get an answer. I don’t know who else to ask.

Oh – I love this post Kacey! I have a quilt my one grandmother made for me and an afghan the other one made. I’m a saver. :grin:

I don’t know what I love more, the rocking chair or the afghan! Can I have both? Oh, you meant something from OUR childhood…. But I like YOUR stuff!

What wonderful memories, Kacey! My grandmother gave me her green necklace that I just adored when I was young. I was sure it was worth hundreds and hundreds of $$$ (Nope, not at all) and that it had magical powers. I was so very touched when she handed it to me one day. The memories it conjures up by just holding are simply wonderful.

Thanks for getting me to remember that!

What a lovely post! When I was little, my mother had a rocking chair. She’d sit me in her lap every day and rock while she either read to me or sang to me.

What a lovely story, Kacey!

I wish I still had my Lincoln Logs. The wooden kind! I can’t believe they make them out of plastic now. Heathens! *g*

That is a beautiful story.

my great-grandmother loved her cup of tea in the morning and whenever I was over to visit, she stirred it with this thick and heavy spoon. I always envisioned that spoon stirring memories that she would later tell me. When she passed away, my only request was that spoon which I now use to stir my tea.

Lovely, Kacey. I’m a rocking chair lover, too, but didn’t get custody of a single one of my six in the divorce. They can bring back such memories. I miss them. I’m with Maybelline, in that I’d like that youthful energy back. More so, I’d like my flexibility back! Where’s that darn yoga book…
