My Grandma Would Be Proud

So as you know, my grandma on my Dad's side collected owls. Tons and tons of owl paraphernalia. Owl mugs (oh how I wish I had taken a picture of that) owl trinkets, owl jewelry, owl pictures, owl figurines....I can't even begin to tell you how much. You can't think of my grandma without thinking of her owl collection. The day of her funeral, I asked my grandpa if I could take one of her figurines. It was a wood one that me and Bob had given her for Christmas. Our first Christmas where we gave duel gifts. So it holds a lot of sentimental emotions. It made me feel close to her to see it.

Little did I know, I was not just going to inherit that one little owl. I was going to inherit her fondness of all things owl. I have quite the little collection going. Most of it are things that come from her. Some mugs, some figurines, and music box. But my friends have now caught on and so my collection grows....

For Valentines Day, Bob added to the collection. Since we no longer drink wine together, we drink tea, this was incredibly thoughtful and just perfect. On so many levels.


It was blog worthy.
Thanks honey.
