Grandfather Clocks.

    There is something both relaxing and reassuring about the chimes of a Grandfathers Clock.  As the hours of the day pass, it marks the time with gentle reminders  a new period has begun.


    Grandfather's clocks are, like Grandfathers, not completely utilitarian.  They are not mass produced and sold off the shelf in the local Walmart.  We found ours in an Officers Club Bazaar in Frankfurt, Germany.  We had to pick out the body, the face, the chimes, the pendulum, and the weights.  Then we had to wait for it to be created.


     It has been with us now for 21 years, faithfully marking the passing of each hour.  Celebrating with us the joys of our lives and the sadness we also experience.  Someday this clock will find its way to a younger generation where it will help them mark the passing of their lives.

     I like Grandfather Clocks.
