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 !!

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!
Antique Papier Mache Doll
Beautiful sewing notions!

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
