Thank you for sharing! It reminds me of the home I grew up in since 1955.. and my parents lived there for almost 50 years... and we had MANY HAPPY MEMORIES there. I don't think I missed but maybe one Christmas there due to bad weather and living too far away to get there. But me and my three sisters (just like you!) always made it there for Christmas if we could, along with our kids.<br /><br />In one of your recent posts, you showed some dishes that were your mom's, plate and little crocheted potholder. Those could have been MY mom's!!!! She always had things like that around the house, and today, I have many of her little treasures. She passed in 2001 and my dad passed 3 weeks later. They had been married for 59 years!<br /><br />What precious memories I have of my childhood and growing up years. It is good for us to keep treasures that belonged to our parents... and they give us such comfort.Marilyn McLeod @ Pink Paper Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166022624714254716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140606507333247280.post-83378762401737505362013-01-16T09:35:03.555-06:002013-01-16T09:35:03.555-06:00What a sweet story.

A friend of mine has made acquaintances of the various people who have lived in her family home, so she can go back and see it sometimes. The elephant ears are so pretty.<br /><br />How did so many of us manage to grow up in homes with one bathroom for many people and two bedrooms? I don't remember one bathroom being a problem except for when we would all get home from a trip at the same time; even then it wasn't that big of a deal. Our current home only has one bathroom. Just not a problem. Never has been. <br />Great post! susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140606507333247280.post-43832857290916008332013-01-15T19:29:04.872-06:002013-01-15T19:29:04.872-06:00Judy that is such a sweet story.

My mother was one of the hardest working women ever and I bet yours was too. But I do remember that she always paced herself and sat down to read a book in the afternoon. And listened to radio soaps while she ironed! <br /><br />We had one bathroom too. How did we ever manage it?
