I was thinking the other day about what I like, and why it has been through out my life.
In no certain order...
I love clocks. My brother Verl, who is eleven years older than I am, enjoyed clocks. He had brought back a Coco clock, when he was in the Navy. It really caught my attention. Not only that it made a sound but the workmanship was beautiful. I would love to have one, but they are really expensive.
I do have several clocks, One has scissors for hands...reminds me when I worked in the shops.
One looks like a car tire, very fancy... David gave it to Lynn, and when he could not protest any longer, after he died, It became mine...
I have a owl clock that Verl brought back from Germany when he was in the Navy, back when I was in the fifth grade. I Love it... I need to get it cleaned.
I have my mothers anniversary clock that Verl gave her. It has a glass dome over it and it has a diamond shape face. I understand its very valuable now.
I have a small, about a two inch square travel clock which faces me when I am seated at my desk.
I also have a marble clock that rolls little marbles in different shoots to tell the time. I usually have him out around Halloween. However this year he has sat on my kitchen counter all year.
I prefer Roman numbers on a clock face. I have a large round clock hanging in my bedroom which has words on the face of Home, Love, Family, Friends ect. I have a clock hanging in the main bathroom that I changed the face, The numbers are at the bottom of the clock, as if they had fallen there.
I also have a watch that is a skeleton watch, you can see the wheels working inside, both front and the back. I love it...I love to see how it works, its amazing how someone came up with the idea...
