I went up to Virginia to help my parents sort through the estate of my late Great Grandparents. They were special and precious people! I remember them watching pastors on tv and the fake green grass. You know the one I'm talking about, the artificial turf that was big back in the day!
My mom and I get much of our love for crafts from her! She also had an amazing talent of storing things! Boxes and boxes galore of all kinds of ribbons and papers and more! Every nook and cranny had a little something. She still had perfumes and lipstick on the dresser! What a lady! Great Grandpa was a truck driver and Great Grandma never really drove so Great Grandpa would take her to the store once a week or so and she would get her craft materials then!
I was blessed to receive a mirror tray that I fixed up as well (well my parents helped! I'm still learning!)! We also discovered their only daughter's wedding dress and shoes.
It was a beautiful little home and my Great Grandpa didn't touch Great Grandma's things after she passed. Like my parents said, it seemed as if the two just ran to the store and never came back. I love seeing the Bible verses around the kitchen-that's a legacy!
My mom tells me this chair was Great Grandma's visiting chair! When guests would come, they would sit in the chair and talk. Oh what joys in the conversations we can share with others! I am learning more and more that God loves friendship. There's a reason he put people in our lives! So with this chair, if and when I get a new home, it shall have to become my 'Visiting Chair' and perhaps bless others as I'm sure they were blessed when they came to visit my Great Grandparents!
