My father's mother isn't someone I have any fond memories of but my mom's mom did some of those real grandma kind of things and I miss her and wish I could have had more time with her. <BR/>That is so cool about the Mary playing for you. <BR/>p.s. granny wants you to dust her once in a while. lolBridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07344585487350196621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715775199766961025.post-77929489210115943502009-03-04T20:06:00.000-08:002009-03-04T20:06:00.000-08:00DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO...YOU KNOW THAT LITTLE ...DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO...YOU KNOW THAT LITTLE DITTY FROM THE TWILIGHT ZONE...JK...How wonderful that you have that from her..I am so sad that you had to go to foster homes...{{{FAMILY}}}} WOW!

Although I was adopted when I was 4years old, I was raised by wonderful parents, and I had a wonderful childhood. My mother (the one who raised me) died within a month after my first grandchild was born, and your post brought back memories of her in that bed, holding her first great grandchild. If you don't have much from your family, I think this beautiful little statute is the perfect thing to have, and I love that it surprised you with its music. laurieBargain Decorating with Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582640485560903639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715775199766961025.post-2680349741555198682009-03-03T16:35:00.000-08:002009-03-03T16:35:00.000-08:00Hi Dawn:I don't have much from my past either.

I have a little, but not like some of the bloggers I read.<BR/>I thought that was a cute story of the statue playing music all of a sudden. You gotta wonder, what was going on, huh?<BR/>GingerGingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17525015607826244834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715775199766961025.post-28413261024785034512009-03-03T14:03:00.000-08:002009-03-03T14:03:00.000-08:00Dawnie - I am sad to hear about your hard childhoo...Dawnie - I am sad to hear about your hard childhood.

When things in life are very rare they become even more valuable. I like to find treasures in antique stores that are forgotten and bring them home and make them my special things. I have a little needlepoint of purple pansy's and I feel such a connection to the unknown woman who made it and when I dust it (gosh I live in the desert and must dust often) I tell that lady how much I love her work.<BR/><BR/>Have a Terrific Tuesday<BR/>from Roberta AnneThe Raggedy Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967298521893250721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715775199766961025.post-32734917398033790262009-03-03T06:38:00.000-08:002009-03-03T06:38:00.000-08:00I'm glad you have something of your Grandmother.

I was a Guardian Ad Litem for 2 years for a precious Teenager with a lot of problems. She will probably age out in the system in two years. Sadly she ended up in residential care. It was very difficult to see her pain and that of the other teens in the group home. Most of them did not have family to visit with them and others had family that had given up on them. There were a lot of issues with them that needed to be addressed in ways I didn't believe the state could do. They all needed the Lord and to be loved, nurtured and disciplined in addition to the areas of mental and emotional pains they had that needed to be helped. It was very painful for me to watch and I got involved far more then my volunteer role permitted but I still believe that they need so much more than the state can and will give to them.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the rant.<BR/><BR/>I'm so thankful the you have the statue, the tapes of your Grandpa and a few extended family to talk with now. God bless you.LisaShawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847564334928464883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715775199766961025.post-25503004577670816552009-03-03T06:24:00.000-08:002009-03-03T06:24:00.000-08:00Dawnie,What a touching story that you shared.

I hope you can claim more treasures from your childhood because even though I had a wonderful intact family, we moved a lot so I don't have much either. I'm collecting things now for my kids and the future, at a bargain of course!

But just think of all the ones you are leaving for your own family! <BR/>I will admit that an idea my hubby Mike, and son Duane, came up with was a "Build-A-Bear one! That they both had their voices recorded into one and gave it to me for Christmas! Talk about something being priceless!!!! Now that is to me. Cause I can always hear their voices, even when they are not around.Nana Nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16212139983520296101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715775199766961025.post-53445393357036669272009-03-03T05:30:00.000-08:002009-03-03T05:30:00.000-08:00That is a beautiful statue♥ I love the old movies,...That is a beautiful statue♥ I love the old movies, too bad they didn't have sound though<BR/>(8mm) I miss my Grandma♥ Thank you for posting :)Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440972007148600622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715775199766961025.post-81723498350075426192009-03-03T05:24:00.000-08:002009-03-03T05:24:00.000-08:00dawnie im so sorry you had to go thur that.you hav...dawnie im so sorry you had to go thur that.you have to know that grandma loved you just as much ,and when you said you didnt believe in ghosts,i never new that cause i really believe they exsist.i was so happy to hear grandma gave you a sigh..rosemariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319776539652673428noreply@blogger.com
