I did finally remember to snap a photo of Mom's back yard...pretty!
After Teresa & Rafe's we drove up to have a nice lunch with Granny and Cordy. Forgot to take photos there too!!!! But also had a nice visit with them - they're doing and looking great!
The real purpose of the trip was to pick up Grandma's old sewing machine. Isn't it cool? It will need a good bit of work to restore it. I did not know the history of it - mom told me that it was originally purchased before Grandma was born by our Great-Grandma. How need to keep a piece of family history.
The cabinet is in pretty rough shape in places. We'll have to research how to proceed. But all the pieces are there - including the original accessory box.
And we also picked up her old cedar chest. Mom researched it also - it's from 1933. The exterior is pretty rough - some leg pieces are missing and the lid has peeling veneer.
But the inside is beautiful!
