~An Old Cookie Jar~

We got alot done today and I am really beat.. I dont know

how many boxes we went through and sorted out.. I have

a set of my mothers china..Noritake, just beautiful.. I will

never use it again..Its quite expensive..I may put an ad on

ebay or somewhere..to replace even just a small plate

costs quite alot..Many people need perhaps just a few

pieces to complete their sets again.. I cant see in the near

or distant future that I will use it.. I cant put it in the micro

as it has silver around the edge..i have another set, its

all white..I dont expect a ton of company. I may as well go

through all this and what I am not going to put out or in its

own place can go back down the basement and sold at a

yard sale ... I would like to find someone that would really

appreciate my cookie jar..was my mothers..and its so cute.
I saw it on Antiques Roadshow..Shes called Winnie The Pig,

I have the matching salt and pepper shakers that look like 2

little pigs.. but they are still packed up down the basement.

I would like to sell mine..I have no one to leave her to that

would appreciate the fact that it was my mothers, then mine,

so a collector would appreciate her.

My mother and Aunt Ethel..back when I was very young, I

dont ever remember any other cookie jar, they each got

one..my Aunt got the boy pig, no s & p set tho..and my

mother got Winnie..All these years these pigs have made

it.. My Aunt has since passed away and her grandson, well

my cousin Bobby, said he has her pig cookie jar, he sure

likes it.. Mine is prettier tho. lol No..the boy is cute. :-)

They hold alot you can see by the side view of her..It was

kind of fun, AND hard work, to go through and see all these

things again..They all were up on top my cabinets at the

apartment and I could only see them from a distance..All

my tea pots n old milk bottles from home..The Iron River

Dairy .. I had a friend in school named Susie.. she lived

on a farm out in the country and every morning before she left

for school she had to help her dad and sisters deliver milk to

everyone.. That was when it was delivered to your door at

daybreak and there were cardboard covers and the tops of

the milk had cream on them.. I never did like milk..I still dont..
I had to drink a glass at every meal..RULES.. I hated milk tho..
It has to be ICE cold or it sticks right in my throat..If I eat dry

cereal like corn flakes or rice krispies..then I put a dribble of

milk on it..but cold cold.. My stomach I found out in later years

is not very good with dairy products..

My arms are sore.. from unwrapping all this newspaper and

reaching.. I am glad to say that my scorch is not too bad..Its

doing ok..its tender a little but I have to sit ..so its the under

part thats giving me fits..well not fits..but aggravation ..lol..I

PROMISE I will NEVER put another cup of coffee directly

in front of me..I had just even said to myself that that coffee

could be hotter than what it was, only a few sips before that.

so it was quite warm..but not HOT HOT...

The lady that filled in to deliver the lunch..oh I do have the guess

what it is lunches back.. came in and I knew her from before..she

raises german shepherd puppies that are just beautiful ..she

sells them as fast as they are born almost they are so wonderful..

huge animals..I love that kind of dog.. She commented on how

cute this place is..so cozy and inviting. I mentioned to her that

I would like to have a shepherd.. this small place I dont think it

would be big enough..she offered to train one for me..they do

that as well.. I saw 3 of her 5 week old puppies over at the apt.

she brought them for me to see.. I think I wrote about it..well..

they are just darling..and she is expecting more lol..she has a

kittie with 7 toes.. on its 2 front feet..dont see that very often..

She asked if I wanted a new baby..and I dont think I should.I

think 2 little boys here would be highly upset..They are both

fighting for attention..and each other.so a new baby I think

would really cause the 'fur to fly' so to speak..

Ive gotten some nice emails lately too..lol..thought I better say

that ..instead of whining about the ones I dont get.. I love email

to look every morning to see who's written or who has commented

here.. well I really appreciate that you let me know..If you dont

write and tell me how will I know? Gee.. I need to KNOW these

things !! lol..Anyway..thanks for the mail..and of course the phone

calls yes..from Australia lol..My dear friend Blue. I enjoy a nice

phone conversation ... I spend my days here usually in email..or

lately I have been listening to some great songs..I love music..

keeps these invisible feet tappin..Well - these invisible tappin

GORGEOUS weebles feet are headed to lay it down and see

how much tv I can watch before my eyes slam shut..lol..Not

long trust me.. I snuggle down in those pillows..get my blanket

pulled up..my pillows up under my arms along my sides..( holds

my arms up) and Im down for the count lol.. Nitey Nite..

Y'all have a good one Y'hear? luv ya..and thanks.. :-)

Always, Lois ****
