Tick, Tock.....Boing, Boing, Boing.....

  There is a new noise ringing through the house at all hours...each hour, anyway.  A sweet lady gave Mark a nice old "35 day" clock that has a wonderful gong chime.  While some folks may grow tired of having a loud gong echoing through the house at midnight, I find it somewhat calming.  Yep, I am weird like that, I guess, but it is soothing to know that time marches on even when I am down for the night.  Some things never change.  The clock is punctual even when I grow weary.

  While the clock, itself, is a treasure, the true value lies in the friendship of such a kind person.  When you give something from the heart, even a small trinket becomes priceless.  We are blessed to have such friends in our lives and always hope that they feel the same.  Now I must get busy and clean the mantle so the clock will have a prominent place to be displayed. The clock will remain as a cherished part of the Little Bayou House....the dozen midnight gongs and all!
