Another Era

I'm thinking of my Nana today.  My daughter wanted to hear stories of her and my Papa. I wish I had a better memory.  I am limited to general memories of how they were loving and fun; but also proper and stern. They instilled in me rules of proper etiquette through my experiences with them as well as what was passed down through my mother.  I think this explains my love of Downton Abbey.  It reminds me of them and the social conventions they wanted me to carry on.  I am so grateful to them for giving me a piece of that era.

They were gifted this crystal Waterford timepiece on their 50th wedding anniversary.
