Appreciate history and antiques!

Alan was at the Cancer Clinic / Hospital with his Mum and Dad. As mentioned in an earlier tid or two in some postings, Alan's Mum has terminal cancer. They went to see the specialist today; and the treatment that she was / is on, has been changed to something less taxing, both on her time and on her body. We will know a bit more about those things, in the next while.

Alan and his Dad have had their difficulties with each other over the years. Well, the Dad is so grateful for Alan being there to genuinely help them with their current issues. It has been a complete personality switch /change for his Dad. I think his Dad realizes that "life is short"; and he may as well make ammends and enjoy his son, to the fullest. This has been wonderful! Alan and his Mum have always enjoyed a very special friendship; and the father has always appeared to have been 'jealous' of that unique bond. I think he now has a different attitude; and wants a better relationship with his son. The Dad has a great sense of humour; and, he is a good mimicer.

When Alan returned home, he arrived with a beautiful framed large print, from his Dad. His Dad gave it to Alan; and now it hangs wonderfully in our front tidbitz entrance hall. 'Well', (there is that "deep" word again, "well") we also hung up a pair of historical snow shoes, and an "old" Indian print, with "suede" framing. Looks fabulous with the rest of the "decor!" (if I tid a bit on, myself! LOL!) Our front hall looks as if it has been brought back to the mid 1800's era. Instead of stepping into a 'time machine'. just step into our front bittidz entrance way! History! Wow! I saw the print and the snowshoes earlier today in our basement / garage; and thought hmmmmmm, it would be nice to hang those! Looks as if my wish was granted!
When you view the photo image, our snowshoes resemble the pair on the right, as you look at the picture. They really add to the ambience!

Tidbit - Appreciate the beauty of antiquity and history! Going through momentos earlier and then participating in this, has been a great boost to the spirits and to our home!

Here is wishing you all a nice weekend!
