I've been photographing all my "STUFF" to make a little heirloom notebook for my daughters so that they'll know whether something is valuable or just sentimental. Sometimes I look at things I've inherited and wonder about who it belonged to and why they kept it. Hopefully the notebook will one day help them decide whether to keep something or pitch it.

The sun coming in my window doesn't seem to wake me up, so I wonder what kind of power that clock must have.

My grandparents had to stop the grandfather clock when I stayed with them as a child - it kept me awake.

It's interesting how seldom there are old photographs of clocks and the only reason we see them is because they are in the background of a photo with some other focus. At least that's how it looks in your family photo and how it is in my family photos.<br /><br />This was a fun comparison of how the clocks we use change over time.
