The other day I was rifling through my parents attic looking for my sister's old American Girl dolls. Upon climbing into the attic, I saw my paternal grandmother's oil painting staring right at me. I asked my mother if I could have it since it was just collecting dust. Her response, "NO". I then proceed to ask my dad if I can "borrow" the painting. Of course, being my father's favorite, said yes! The painting was given to my grandmother in Munich, Germany as a wedding gift. The painting is of Zugspitze Mountain in Bavaria, which my ancestors have climbed. The frame is original and needed a little TLC. I am in love with the painting and am thrilled it has found a home on my wall, even if it's only temporary.
My dad also gave me these antique cow bells that were grandmothers. I remember them fondly hanging outside her back door.
