A Trip To ~G.C.V.& M ~ With Mommy for Mother's Day!!


Mommy came to stay for a week including 
Mother's Day!
 So we decided to go to
The Genesee County Village and Museum


It was great fun!!



We started our tour in the 
John L. Wehle Gallery










The coverlet display 
was exquisite at the 
John L. Wehle Gallery !!
 (Curator ~ Patricia Tice)

                            The Susan Greene Historic Clothing Exhibit

                          always has  something new and is so wonderful 

                           to  spend time and browse and look through !

Mommy had so many lovely memories to share when she saw
reminders! Here she reminisces of how her father bought two
matching purses for her mother and her older sister, as a courting gift
much like the one below!

The Campbell House



Mommy was so interested
in everything!
It was her fist time there!!




She remembered being a little 
girl visiting her Grandfather
the Blacksmith!!






The School House








The surveyor 




Jim Nicoll

author of  several books



The interpreters are so
informative, helpful 
and interesting!   





Mommy is 93 years young
and did amazingly well
going through the village!!



The Print Shop





























































The Mercantile 































When it was time to go back 
 Mommy got a ride in the 
gulf-cart while HubbyBear 
set off to bring the van up front


She was very pleased with the plan!!

..~..~..~..~..~..~..~..
And so driving home called for 
ice cream!!
After all it was Mother's Day!






And at home she opened 
her gift! 








And for the rest of the week
Mommy relaxed, visited 
and read lots of books!!


The Mousiekin gals made sure
to pick the perfect books for Mommy!

Mama Mildred also received
 two books for her Mother's Day!



























And....
we ate lots of great food!!!







Mommy brought me something very special! 
A needle keep that she made when she was 
a little girl, that made it through the bombing
of Berlin WWII! A needle keep that she used 
while I sat next to her as I was growing up!
The inside is lined with her Aunt's apron
material and the outside is crochet,
 and she  has filled it with a cash of needles!!!




Hope you enjoyed
Many Blessings, Linnie
