Day 329

Day 329: My Gumpo P used to say, "Time is a great healer." This is the wall clock that hung in the dining room of the Timmins house for as long as I can remember. I'm not completely sure of its origins, but I am sure that it has been a fixture in my life all of my life. When the house sold in March and we made ready to clear it out, I desperately wanted this clock. It hadn't worked in years...but if you haven't learned this by now I'm somewhat the sentimental sort. How many times I heard the gentle chimes of this very clock as we feasted at Christmas around that glorious table, or when we were little and watched the Disney Channel lying on our stomachs in front of the old TV on a Saturday afternoon, or when Grammy and I would sit and chat about life at the kitchen table while she "did her pills" or cared for the dogs. Yes, I'm definitely the sentimental type and I just *had* to have this clock. So home it came with me to OS after the last clear out, and then back to BA it went to be repaired at Voldi's Time Centre a week or so later. This was in early April. Voldi assured me it could be repaired, and I tried to be as patient as I could while I waited (I only called maybe three times lol). Well Friends: today is the day. Today it is ready to come home to Lovely House. I can't begin to express my joy...I may or may not have shed a few tears when Voldi turned the hands for me to play the chime...I could just imagine her excitement knowing that it was fixed and will chime again. Pieces like these have such souls and stories. Time might be a great healer, and though my grief remains I am so Happy to finally have this bit of Timmins at Home. #luckyhotdog #LovelyHouse #GrammyP #GumpoP #VoldisTimeCentre #365happydays
