Tonight's tale is one about my life, from childhood to now. Church has always been an important part of my life. These ornaments represent two of the three churches that i have been a part of. The gold ornament is my childhood to marriage church. This is the church Woody and I got married in. It's the First United Methodist Church in Glendale, AZ. This ornament was made for the church's 100th anniversary in 1994. This ornament has looked like the top photo since Mother gave it to me. Yesterday on Facebook my childhood friend posted a picture of her ornament that looks just like mine and she stated that she had designed this orhament for the centennial. Then I noticed that hers wasn't flat...I had never thought to bend the thin bands around the ornament...so it is like a new ornament on the tree after 20 years of it hanging flat! I can thank Randi for letting me know a little more about the tale of this orhament! The bottom photo shows an ornament that I just happened upon this ornament at an antique store. I couldn't resis getting it. I don't know when this was produced, as this was the first that I knew of it, when I found it. It can't be too old, as it shows the fountain in the park across the street from the sanctuary. I am glad to have both of these ornaments on my Christmas tree of memories. I like having things on the tree that represent our life and interests. More tales to come! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious! 'Tis the season!I just looked at the photos...sorry about the blur on the middle one...I took it this morning and then hadn't looked at it. You can tell about me bending the pieces to make it 3-D.
