I think this is so sweet; it's something Mom got for her Mother, my Grandma Elphia, for Mother's Day in the early '30s...I accidently broke the glass on its little frame not long ago, and decided it was a good time to scan it before replacing the glass.

My oldest son Mark is making me a wonderful swing using the same pattern as one my Grandpa Launius built around 1920 ~ really a unique design ~ photos of that to come!





I hope each and every one of you had a fabulous Mother's Day!
