Old vs New
This is my take on the theme Old vs New. This is an old grandfather clock but it is new for me. I just acquired it yesterday. My Great Uncle made this long ago for his sister, my Grandma. My Uncle, Grandma's son, had it at his empty rental house. His son didn't want it anymore. It's been passed around a bit.
I'm so glad to have gotten this clock. It's a cherished family heirloom. I love the sound it makes. It takes me back to times spent with my Grandma & Grandpa at their house. Both have passed on and to have this part of them means so much that I can't even describe.
