Can I help you grandma?
OMD! Lots of matches...
This one is nice....
Putting them back...
Ta-Da!When my grandpa was younger (many years ago!), he used to travel a lot due to his job. He has a big collection of matches from all the places he had to visit. He has had them for more than 30 years. And he does not let anybody to touch them. But.... my mom noticed that the glass where they are had lots of dust. So, my grandma decided to clean them. And she let me help her. It took us more than 2 hours because my grandpa was there too and he was remembering all those places. It was fun!

I'll bet your grandpa wished your grandma cleaned that glass bowl more often so he could think about where all of those matches came from. That's a great collection of matches!
What a great way to spend two hours! It's great to hear the stories behind things like that!
I liked your cowgirl dress from the last post! And Miguelito is adorable! You know, little dogs are fierce when they want to be. My Roomie's Min Pins can be downright scary!
Wroooo!
Brown dog kisses,
Dannan
What a cool collection! For a minute we thought you just had a lot of candles.

That is a lot of matches you got there.. Never be without a match for a fire when it is cold..

I see you're wearing a sweater too. Is it cold where you are?
Tobes

YeeHaw, Cowgirl Lorenza!!
LOVE your cowpatch dress. Just make sure you don't go out into a pasture wearing that. Those bulls might mistake you for a skinny mini cow!
Your grandpa sure has been to a lot of places! How many matchbooks did he have?
And, Miguelito is stinkin' cute. Do you get to hang with him very often? Does he ever help you make your mama angry?
We just got your card last weekend! Thanks, girlie! You have a good Christmas too!
Goober love & smooches,
Stanley
Wow! That is really cool that they saved all of those matchbooks!
Hugs,
Sitka
That's super neat. It's a really cool collection! Just make sure you don't eat any... I heard they give you terrible gas!
It must be fun for your grandpa to remember all the places he has gone!
