Wonderful Clock!

I remember the first time I set foot on my mother-in-law's lovely abode. They picked me up from the airport and then brought to their place while waiting for Dave to get off work. I was so impressed with their house. I thought, it was like a hotel. Well, It was far different from different houses that I have been to in the Philippines. After we pass the big porch, we enter the room and on its right side going to the living room was a beautiful grandfather clock. It was really eye catching especially that it was placed where you can see it right away when you open the main door. I was so fascinated with their place. That was the first American home that I have seen so, I have the reason to be fascinated.

After I freshen up and after I get settled, they give me a tour inside the whole house. I noticed that in their living room lies a mantel clock that looks very stylish and it fits the style of the living room. After the tour, we settled in the bar area in the kitchen. They really made me feel at home at that time. Since then, their house has become a second home to me.

Looking back, I wonder if the grandfather clock that I saw at Mom's is one of the famous Howard Miller Grandfather Clock. If it is, can you imagine the history in that piece of clock?

I Need Wall Clock for My Kitchen

The kitchen is one of my favorite place in the house because I love to cook. I love discovering and trying new dishes. If my family in the Philippines will hear me say " I love to cook" they will all be shocked. All my family in the Philippines never thought that I can learn to cook. I admit, I grow up as not very domesticated. I am not the type that would cook, clean or wash clothes. I grow up working and earning our living so the domesticated jobs are delegated to some other members of the family. And yes, I admit it... I am a bit spoiled. When I moved here in the USA I learned to be independent and it is different when you are married especially if you have a baby. I learned all the things a good wife and a good mother should do. I learn to cook... and do some household chores (although I still need to improve).

Anyway, since I love my kitchen, I think I need to hang a wall clock in my kitchen because I tend to forget time. When I need to know the time, I have to go to the living room to look at it. I am sure that a wall clock in my kitchen will be very useful.

Talking about clocks, I saw different designs of mantle clocks at 1-800-4Clocks.com! When I browsed at it, I was so amazed at how beautiful they are. I wish to own one someday. When that time comes, I want to own a Hermie Mantle Clock like the picture below.
