Small Town Living at Its Best

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall have everlasting life.

Tabletop Tuesday


The above items on top of the cabinet that holds grandma's salt and pepper shaker collection is a photo and a trophy. If you look real close, the trophy says 1976. The man in the photo on the rightwas my grandfather, and he won the trophy for best beard. It was for the Bi-centenniel, and he was SO proud. I love having things like that to sit around and remind me of the people I loved so much when I was growing up. I know it's not really a "tabletop", but close enough! Thanks for stopping by, and please leave a comment. I'm going to go visit the other TT participants at the below address:

  2. This is wonderful, Sandi!
    J has won a couple of beard contests. He had a very thick beard when he was younger. Now it's just a mustache.

    Thanks so much for stopping by the Back Porch. I have toured MCG's home, three times and shopped at both stores. Absolutely love all of it. Met Mary Carol everytime we were there...either in Atchison or KC.
