Brenda's Photo Challenge (Childhood Memories)

Morning Guys! Well, I had a few childhood memories laying around...Who doesn't remember the long handled back scratcher or the kitchen clock with your family name on it, hanging in your Mom's kitchen? Also, back when my Dad was still living, he made a set of ceramic coffee cups. He was SO ill but determined to finish them... We owned a kiln and Mom and Dad use to turn out all kinds of things with it. The set of cups are my favorite because they were made right before he passed...He was SO proud of them...sigh...miss them....
Anyhoo, these are my takes on memories. For more, go HERE.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Perfect memories Miz Donna and a clear, sharp, shot of your treasures. Love em!

I need that back scratcher!

Donna said...

Hahahaaa....I found it in Bandera Texas at one of those junk shoppes...I remember the real ones had a thin long hard plastic handle...This one bends too much!

Oh how that back scratcher brings back my childhood memories. Haven't seen one since then. Your poor sweet dad made beautiful cups. Wonderful reminder of your two parents. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend, Donna. Hugs Jo

Love your choices! The coffee cups are wonderful! I have missed getting to do the photo challenges. I've finally got a working desktop, so I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things!

These are beautiful collection of your childhood memories. I have to laugh, because my son got a back scratcher from his grandfather. My son is notorious for asking for scratching his back.

You've gone all nostalgic on me today! I love the plate with your name on, and the coffee cup is beautiful.
