Object Memory
The small doll on my mantle was my Grandmother Ruth's. For some reason, it is one of my clearest memories from her house in Queens, even though she died when I was about four. The pitcher is one of my mother's pots. I never saw her throw a pot, as she gave up the art around the time that I was born, however each time I look at it, I think of my mother's hands.
It is so odd when small things speak so powerfully.

How do you protect that from your cat? All the cats I've ever owned would've knocked both off as sooin as they would be left alone to do it. LOL

Oh, it's a mantle-- about 5 feet off the ground!
