Years ago when I met Rose ( Antiquerose) we discovered she knew some of my family in Canada and one of them even had a crush on her as teens :-) Yesterday I received this gift of a Grain Elevator like the one next to my family's store in Bounty County it is now a ghost town . The 2nd photo is my families store with grain elevator along side it . I was so surprised to see a package and to find out it was bought at a estate sale from a family member that Rose attended . CW has the best people and I am so grateful for the friends I have made here
Thank you Rose I love it and Merry Christmas to you and your family xo
There is a link to my former post about Canada and my families town below
The 4th photo of Grain Elevator was taken by another friend in Canada I call Bro ( Walksoftly) when he went to see my cousins . This is in Conquest . I have been blessed with friends in Canada Rose, Walksofty, and Phil that have kept me in contact with family there .

Rose is a fine friend to give this to you and we appreciate your fine comments of gratitude. This year she offered me a fine glass vase which I turned down because of lack of room. Rose is a gem !~
I hope you had a great Christmas, dear Mani, much love sent to you.
What a nostalgic gift. Happy New Year!
It's such a small world and I'm with you Mani, I love having met some very awesome people here as well, you are definitely one of them and love Rose too!!! Now how cool is it that your cousin had a crush on her? Yes, a small world indeed! And Rose, you are a doll! Love you both!
Big Hugs young lady...… Smiles too....

Thanks for stopping Share :-) Yes it is truly a special piece of my family in Canada and that Rose would have known them years ago is amazing and Walksofly went to visit my family there for me also . I love so many great friends on CW xo
That is just so awesome. Walksoftly too? I haven't seen him in a while, but my time here has been so limited, unfortunately cuz I miss it so much! xoxo
