My grandmother “Mimi” recently downsized. She used to live in this house below. Built in 1814, her cellar was an Underground Railroad safe house for slaves seeking freedom. I have many, many childhood memories of this house… especially Christmas memories. My sister recently wrote a wonderful post on this home and others in town that my parents have spent countless hours restoring.
As she packed up all of her belongings and memories she parted with a few things that she knew my sister and I would treasure.
My aunt often gifted my grandmother Nancy Thomas calendar plaques. Each month signifies a birth or significant month in their immediate family. When my grandmother was divvying up her treasures and giving them to me and Darby… I scored the Nancy Thomas plaques. I finally got around to hanging them. They bring me such delight. Over the next few years I hope to add the additional months to the collection. Chance, Sloane and my birth months are missing… May, June, and September! Heck, who am I kidding… I’d really like to have all 12 months!
