This clock holds a special place in the collective heart of our family. My hubby inherited this clock from Great Grandparents that he dubbed, "Grandma and Grandpa Cuckoo." He was still young when they passed, so his mom hung it in her house. Shortly after we were married, she showed up one day with this clock. She told her son that he was FINALLY responsible enough to have it. Ha! We proudly displayed the clock in a prominent location.
Forward a few years... My mother-in-law gave me a picture of her as a teen standing in front of said cuckoo clock, reading the newspaper. The caption stenciled above the clock was, "Time brings old memories and new joys." I loved it and thought that one day I would do the same.
Forward a few more years... I bought the Cricut and thought to myself, "What a great time to do the caption!" I purchased some dark brown vinyl and went to town. The result is what you see in the picture. We just love it. It has so much meaning for us. The kids read the caption to me on a regular basis and tell me the time hourly. How fun to carry on the tradition!
Here is a close up of the saying:
Until we meet again...
