Now that was a great story. Isn't it ironic how 'things' enter our lives at just the most opportune time. Thanks for saving the cradle!

I'm so glad we frequent the thrift stores to hunt, search out, and otherwise plunder through history and find those relics of bygone days. I'm glad that we both love to decorate in early Americana , bringing the vibes from childhood memories and our ancestors to resonate in our home. I'm thankful I was part of the great story you've shared, and able to place a piece of history in a good home.

You are the best partner ever for a good history-mystery, and every other adventure, my sweets. ❤ Thanks for accommodating my fervent whims and tangents. I love that we are happily immersed in history, even in our home. It's who we are in our curious cores.

It means so much to me to be chosen for that honor. You are so welcome, Peggy. ❤The museum volunteers were very happy to receive it. I knew in my heart that it belongs there and that really makes me happy.
