RE: A Little Bit of Americana (with a CP Twist)

Hi. Such a beautiful story of your grandfather. And his keepsake is a treasure to your family. How proud he must be to know his descendants are relishing something he used to make a living for his family. It's just so neat to see. I love antiques and old family treasures.

Have a blessed day, and thanks for sharing.

I'm sure he didn't mean to leave it as a keepsake, but it really has become one. Thank you very much for the nice comment!

It's the item that didn't mean to be that becomes one. When we cherish something, sometimes we are the only ones that find value one way or another in it. And it doesn't mean anything to anyone else, whether in the present or later one.

It's the items that are necessary for us in some capacity that we sometimes don't think about the time that anyone else would wnat or cherish that becomes the most valuable.

I have such an item I found too.
