Sometimes progress looks backwards. The woman who wrote me still hasn't gotten back to me about price. I think I'm onto the next week's word "wish" and wishing she'd say she'll just give it to me :)Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-9171916381282958932014-09-25T14:31:07.640-07:002014-09-25T14:31:07.640-07:00Fun to get access to your family's history fro...Fun to get access to your family's history from unexpected corners of the country. The bed is surely beautifully crafted, but I see the challenge getting it posted in the mail. Not even your grandfather would have taking it on his horse... Otherwise I agree with you first statement. New isn't always better, just as often it's a way to get us to buy again what we already have. I am particularly thinking in my line of stuff, you know Gillette - the best a man can get - has been adding more and more blades to their razors. When I started buying razor blades, the big thing was the double blades. Now I think we are up to five. And I always wonder how many blades will be the latest fantastic news by the time I crawl into my coffin. Maybe unnecessary to say but I still only use the double blade...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-87229420117214671262014-09-23T04:54:05.236-07:002014-09-23T04:54:05.236-07:00I feel like I've done a good thing to cause so...I feel like I've done a good thing to cause someone to spit water :D <br /><br />Part of what made my grandpa funny is that he was so stoic most of the time -- and then he'd play "Santa Got Run Over By a Reindeer". <br /><br />I like hearing about other people's treasures and stories. I'm glad when one of my memories sparks someone else's. Thanks for the comments everybody!

What fun that must have been to hula hoop with your grandpa! I have some fond memories of hanging out with my grandpa, too- He always kept us in stitches. If my mom heard us singing some of the songs he taught us, we probably would've had our mouths washed out with that soap! <br />Retrieving the family furniture could be fun road trip...Perhaps you could set up a fund raising "drive" (no pun intended) to raise the cash needed? michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354005893364951302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-38957267394738359752014-09-22T07:32:11.993-07:002014-09-22T07:32:11.993-07:00I have an antique bed that has been on my Mom'...I have an antique bed that has been on my Mom's side of the family since the Civil war.

I think looking at genealogies is fascinating.

The furniture ...Wow Linda what a fascinating post. The furniture is very beautiful and has so much history with it. Family history is so interesting. ..my Dad's cousin managed to trace ours back to the 1600s and gave a talk to us all and presented us with a printed family tree. I really hope you get the furniture. .If it is something you want and yes it's a great idea to see if us fellow bloggers could help that happen. Much depends on the price though!

Very cool that your nephew posted your genealogy online. I suppose I could do that here too unless someone's got a better suggestion?Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-25159116567975198122014-09-20T15:13:39.106-07:002014-09-20T15:13:39.106-07:00My great grandfather in Nova Scotia also wrote abo...My great grandfather in Nova Scotia also wrote about the family's past and a nephew posted it on the web for the family to see. Nice to look back words written by ancestors... <br /><br />I'm sure that if you want the bed and dresser there are lots of people on this blog that would be willing to help out with donations for purchase and shipping! (I am, let me know!) They're beautiful pieces and it's nice to have things that come from family. Rand MacIvorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13769540503437221828noreply@blogger.com
