But I have fond grandpa memories. <br />I had an auntie who sadly died of cancer at 28. She loved me very much. She gave me a small red shiny change purse when I was about 8 and I managed to bring it to Canada but had it stollen from me at the CNE fair in August 1955. Another auntie gave me red shoes that I treasured as well. They also lasted to make the Atlantic crossing.. <br />Today I use a red leather handbag and wear red half boots with my skinny jeans. The passion for red lives on.<br />As for your pitcher, it served up some delightful memories not just for you but all your readers too as the comments suggest.<br />It is a lovely pitcher perfect for that nook.<br />In my mind I have the idea to capture my various pitchers and see what story they might tell.<br />Loved this post.Heidrun Khokhar, KleinsteMottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174142810114806410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-19402441310560229312017-02-04T14:31:17.819-05:002017-02-04T14:31:17.819-05:00Items can certainly contain a lot of memories...! ...Items can certainly contain a lot of memories...!

They lived in Minnesota and we lived in California.<br />Never really had money enough to go and visit them. I always loved them and we would write letters but there really wasn't that deep heart connection. Makes me sad.<br />I'm glad I have 2 of my grandkids close enough to have a real relationship with them.photowannabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760961275666768173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-29043697709989837532017-02-04T11:21:33.452-05:002017-02-04T11:21:33.452-05:00WAIT!

It really took me back in time too. What wonderful stories, the baby teeth in the Pond's jars, the cans of Coke. Oh my you are a writer of dreams. Glorious. She was married a long long time before her divorce! Have you heard this story? A couple in their 90's go to a lawyer and tell him they have never liked each other and want a divorce. He asked why they had waited so long. They said they wanted to wait until the children were dead, ha ha ha!!! What a divine porch! The woman in your family were strong! Back then, women HAD to be stronger than today, I think. I recognize the pitcher. Or should I say the the holder of dreams. But I never knew it was supposed to be stars. Back then, they held a lot of iced tea, and later on a lot of Kool Aid. Hey, I found a picture of the house I grew up in!! I Googled the address and found it in a real estate listing for sale. I will send you a picture of it. The left side had been a duplex, so we only lived on the right, but you can see our porch!!! At some point I will post pictures of all the places we have lived.
