Antique Clocks Are Me

I love clocks both old and new. My love of chiming clocks came from the times when I was a little girl and my family would go to grandma and grandpap's house for a visit. They had an antique clock that had been in the family for a while and usually hung it in the hall. As a kid, I would have to sleep in the living room on an old army type cot. Though not the most comfortable thing to sleep on, I remember listening to the ticking rhythm of the clock until I fell asleep. I was always surprised that the loud chiming on the hour and half hour never woke me up.

The clock in the picture was found at a local thrift store, and though it does not keep time very well, it still gives me the comfort I felt at my grandparents house.
