When I posted this picture a few days ago, I noticed something.
See the clock, partially hidden by things stacked in front of it, on the buffet by the kitchen door?
I now have that clock.
I remember Mama telling me that this clock was a wedding present. I wonder who gave it to them? If you’ve read the story of my parent’s lunch-time marriage here, you know that there was no formal church wedding and almost certainly no wedding reception where gifts were given. So, I would guess this was one of the few wedding presents they received.
I’m honored that the wedding clock now lives with us. It still keeps excellent time while at the same time evoking memories that are priceless.
