Mom and I went through her cedar chest a couple of years before she died. She had a ratty old bathrobe that she told me belonged to her grandfather and then she told me the story of why she kept it. I treasure that memory. My sisters threw out the robe before I could get up there after mom died. They had no idea the beautiful story that went with it. This is why I'm glad you tagged your scissors :)onlymeherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08880378084448908090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29563767.post-11385645570202989242009-12-10T20:15:18.566-08:002009-12-10T20:15:18.566-08:00Oh I'm so sorry to hear your scissor are damag...Oh I'm so sorry to hear your scissor are damaged, you have wonderful memories attached to them.
