Connections with the Past: Grandma's Cupboard

When I was about four years old I would often go to my grandma's log house to visit. I remember a few things, the cocker spaniel, the willow trees, my grandpa's auto shop, the green wringer washer, the garden, and grandma's stand-alone white kitchen cupboard. It had frosted glass cupboard doors, a pull out counter, and a pull-out flour bin with a sifter on the bottom. My niece, Kristin spoke for it and it sat in my mom's basement for years and I coveted it each time I saw it. Then Kristin decided she didn't want it and mom offered it to me. That was probably ten years ago. My nephew delivered it to my garage this week and I am cleaning the 60 year old dough off with green cleaner and a toothbrush. I really don't have a place for it but I will find one and enjoy it for 20 years. Then I will pass it down to someone else who loves it.
