Thank you so much Suzanne for being our wonderful host.

I was at my mother's recently and noticed the old clock

was no longer on her mantel.

I asked her what happened to the clock.

She said she had it in her bedroom.

She was not using it because it hurt her hands to wind it.

I asked her if I could have the clock.

My brother has an old family clock

and my aunt does too.

So could I have that old family clock?

Mom said sure I could have it.

Then she said, but where are going to put it?

She asks me that everytime I get something.

Where are you going to put it?

I told her on the mantel that is around the wood stove

we don't use. But I use the mantel for displaying

season decor items.

Here is the old clock.
This clock belonged to my mother's father's mother.
In case you are confused, that was my
great-grandmother.
Or in other words, my grandfather's mother on
my mother's side.
In the background you can see the baseball
game on that B-Daddy was watching when I
took the pictures.

Inside of the clock.

The key to wind it hangs on the door.

The label which is hard to read.

But this clock was made around 1912.

So that means in a couple years,

this clock will be 100 years old!!

Here is the clock face with the glass door open.

You can see where we wind it up.

At the top is the place to adjust it to go a

little faster or slower.

But the key for that is missing.

When we wind up the clock it starts out fast

until it winds down some.

I did not put it on the mantel after all.

That is in the living room and

currently it is a diaster area.

So I put it on my pie safe in the family room.

Here it is on the pie safe.

Where it can be seen all the time.

I really like having it there.

It may not move to the living room after all!

Hope you all have a great Thursday!!

P.S. Did anyone else besides me get these strange

looking posts on your dashboard from a blog you are not following?

They are in a foreign language and appear to be about

different viruses and technical thing like that.

There are 20 posts from this place.

They say they are posted by a noreply (at) blogger (d0t) com

from a blog called

Inspiraco Perfumes E Cosmeticos

I don't dare click on any of them.

What gets me is why are those showing up in my dashboard

when I am not following that blog?

Just wondered if anyone else was seeing them.

They also show as being posted 20 hours ago from when I am posting

this one.

Ok done now. :-)
