Life's bowl

A picture is worth a thousand words!  So what words are in this picture??

If you look on a kitchen countertop you may find a bowl turned upside down.  A melmac bowl, a term that is year’s old and no longer used. 

An inheritance from my grandmother.  From almost thirty years ago.  One that has lasted the years.  Of all the things we may inherit, I’m inclined to enjoy the daily reminders.  Those ordinary items that remind me day by day of those that have had an effect on my life.

Grandma lent us her house when we first got married.  She raised nine children.  Carried plowshares across fields to town to be fixed.  Had that quiet kind of approach to life you love to be around.  And every time her husband would tease us and start to joke with the grandkids we’d hear “Now, Carl!” and we all knew we were in for a good time!!
