I believe the change in the weather has brought out a virus for me... Just not up to snuff today and I should be at Bible Study but my head ache just wouldnt allow it... so today really seems like a nice cup of tea day for me... along with a lovely read or two.

My book is Timeless Treasures by Emilie Barnes... such precious readings on memories.. such a pastime over a plate of pumpkin bread and pear... and a warm cup of cinnamon apple tea!! Just right for this rather damp, cold day!

Truly, for me, to glance about the room I see so many treasures that came to me through my wonderful mother..
Her handsome rooster, one of which she loved to collect over the years. Her maiden name being COX, she had a natural affinity toward them... and the lacy cloth upon which he proudly stands once graced mom's table!...
When I look to my right I see one of my mother's decorative wood items she and my dad were locally famous for in the Mountain Craft Guild...I have so many of her treasures scattered about in every room.. sweet reminders of my dear parents and their love for creating lovely items from the heart!
Beside that is the amazing gate leg table my grandfather made when he started housekeeping right after WWI. This is probably my favorite treasure of all! Haha, by the 1950's it had been painted and relegated to grandma's country dairy farmhouse kitchen where I remember so many family gatherings huddled around it enjoying meals during summer stays.. It seated 10 kids easily... when they sold the farm it was relegated to the basement where we kids ate all our Thanksgiving meals.. Looking pretty badly when my mother received it, she lovingly worked hard to bring it back to its former glory!
Timeless Treasures
I love them because they are old
But they never get old to me..
Each one is wrapped in a story.
And tied with a memory.
...
It was love that made them heirlooms
And not just antiques you can see.
And it's the unbroken bonds of love
That are real timeless treasures to me!.

These pears are just ripe enough to taste perfectly tart with a zing of sweetness for me
Mustn't allow the pumpkin bread to lose its warmth... so tasty with a piping hot cup of tea!

The beautifully crafted turned bowl given her by a close friend was something rom which I could never part...
"For me, a walk through my house is almost like a visit with a group of old friends. Almost everything I encounter comes with a story attached".

My cup is a collectible mug.. we purchased this one at Swiss Woods Bed and Breakfast in Lititz, Pa. which is exactly half way to our daughter's home in Ma!
