"MORE OLD THINGS"

 

 

           

                           

 

HELLO AGAIN  EVERYBODY I HOPE YOUR ALL FEELING WELL.

 

ANOTHER RHYME ANOTHER POSTING ANOTHER STORY TO TELL.

 

OF MORE OLD THINGS I FOUND AGAIN WHEN SORTING MY  DRAWERS THIS WEEK.

 

I HOPE I DO NOT BORE YOU ALL AND YOU TURN THE OTHER CHEEK.

 

AS I SORTED THINGS I CAME ACROSS THIS DELICATE NIGHTDRESS CASE.

 

IT'S MADE OF VERY FINE LINEN LIGHT CREAM  EDGED WITH PRETTY LACE.

 

       

 

I MADE IT ONCE WHEN I WAS CARRYING FIRST BABY LONG AGO.

 

WHEN I USED TO SPEND MANY HOURS SAT AS I JUST LOVED TO SEW..

 

I LOVE OLD THINGS NO MATTER WHAT BUT I CANNOT  SAVE TOO MUCH.

 

AS I HAVN'T THE ROOM NOW TO STORE THEM ALL IN MY LITTLE FLAT AS SUCH.

 

WELL THIS I ADORED AND  I USED TO KEEP MY BABY THINGS IN IT YOU SEE.

 

AND I ALSO FOUND A FEW LITTLE MORE TREASURES THAT ONCE WERE GIVEN TO ME.

 

THIS IS MY AUNTIES NEEDLE CASE AND THIMBLE  WITH NEEDLES SO FINE.

 

MADE OUT OF SILVER BOTH OF THEM AND THE NEEDLES MUCH FINER THAN MINE..

 

      

 

 

THE EYES ON THEM ARE SO TINY THERES NO WAY AT ALL I'D  THREAD THEM.

 

AND INSIDE THE NIGHTDRESS CASE EMBROIDERED MY  SIGNATURE ON THE HEM.

 

WELL WHEN I OPENED THE NIGHTDRESS CASE INSIDE WAS THIS BELOW.

 

MY FIRST BORN SONS LITTLE  NIGHTDRESS HE WORE ALL THOSE YEARS AGO.

 

                

 

AND WHEN I SAW IT INSIDE THE CASE IT BROUGHT TO MY EYES SOME  TEARS.

 

THINKING HOW I USED TO NURSE HIM AND ROCK HIM TO SLEEP YESTERYEARS.

 

HOW EVER DID WE GET THERE ARMS IN  WERN'T THEY JUST EVER SO SMALL.

 

NO BABYGRO'S IN THEM YEARS JUST THESE NIGHTDRESSES THAT WAS ALL.

 

BOY OR GIRL IT JUST DIDN'T MATTER BOTH SEXES WORE THESE AT THE TIME.

 

MADE OUT OF LOVELY COTTON AND WITH BOILING IT HAS WORN IT FINE.

 

I REMEMBER WHEN HE GREW OUT OF IT AND I WAS IN MY FIRST HOME .

 

I DECIDED TO SAVE IT ALONG WITH HIS TINY WOODEN HAIRBRUSH AND COMB.

 

I HAVN'T COME ACROSS THEM  YET BUT I KNOW  THEY ARE SOMEWHERE HERE.

 

AND I TREASURE THEM AS THE MEMORIES THEY BRING ARE PRECIOUS AND OH SO DEAR.

 

WELL HERE IS A PICTURE OF MY  SON WHEN  HE WAS ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS OLD.

 

AND HE WAS THE MOST WELL BEHAVED BABY ANYONE COULD EVER HOLD.

 

                                  

          

 

NOT A MINUTES BOTHER FROM BEING BORN HE PLAYED HOURS AT A TIME.

 

WHILE I DID MY HOUSEWORK AND IN THEM DAYS YES I STILL WROTE " MY SIMPLE RHYME".

 

AT THAT TIME I DID THEM FOR CHILDREN I HAVE THEM ALL HERE IN A FILE.

 

CIRCUS ONES AND SEASIDE ONES AND PLAYING COWBOY AND INDIANS THAT STYLE.

 

MY GRANDCHILDREN NOW  AS THEY HAVE BEEN  GROWING USED TO SIT CONTENT AS I READ.

 

ALL THESE SIMPLE RYHMES I HAD WRITTEN AND THOUGHT OF IN MY HEAD.

 

I HAVE WROTE SOME FOR SISTERS AND FRIENDS AND THEY HAVE LOVED THEM ALL TOO.

 

STRANGE I HAVE ENDED UP WRITING THEM ON THE INTERNET FOR ALL OF YOU.

 

WELL AS I SAID MY ELDEST AND FIRST BORN HE WAS AS GOOD AS GOLD.

 

AND HERE HE IS ON ANOTHER PIC  FROM MY ARCHIVES IN HIS CAR OF OLD.

 

               

                      

 

HE -HE IT'S LOVELY WHEN YOU COME ACROSS THESE MEMORIES OF WAY BACK IN TIME .

 

HE'S FORTY THIS YEAR SO A FEW MORE RELICS HERE IN   " MY SIMPLE RHYME ".
