Special Little Thermometer

  

   As I think about the many favourite things that my twin and I had over the years I must include this little thermometer which came all the way from Japan about 30 years ago. My twin and I would check it often to see what the temperature was especially when it was very hot or cold.  After all this time it is still giving me accurate temperature readings. It was about 28oC when I took this picture.

Treasured Key-ring

   Over the years my twin and I have received several beautiful key-rings. Some we have used as decorations. Here is one that I received from a cousin who lives in Australia. I love the quotations in it with some of my favourites being :-

  "Reach for the moon. If you fall you will land on a star."

  "If you can imagine it…you can achieve it. If you can dream it…you can become it."

  "How beautiful the garden whose fragrance is family and friends."

  “Harmony prevails in the hearts of those who are filled with the music of love and friendship.”

  "What is lovely never dies, But passes into other loveliness." - Thomas Bailey

    Although my twin and I have collected bird figurines over the years we have always admired our mom's teapots.  Strangely enough we have never been tea drinkers preferring to drink cocoa!  Here are some of our favourites:

Tribute To Dad - Creative Monday Linky

  

   I have written a number of posts about my late father Harry Haughton-James since I started this Blog. Although he died when was I was 13 years old I remember a lot about him. I have created what I call my father’s alphabet based on the word FATHER:-

This was a clock!

   Would you believe that this was once a clock?! My family received it over 30 years ago. After a number of years it stopped working so Janine and I placed a postcard of a Kookaburra where the clock’s face used to be. First we pasted the postcard on a piece of cartridge paper. I am sure this was more than 15 years ago!  Janine received the postcard from one of her pen-pals.
