tuesday's treasure

growing up

this was always filled with nuts

and resided in our kitchen

as far as my memory serves me

the metal pieces are a nutcracker

and some little "picks"

to get those stubborn pieces out

of the shell.

i'm not sure where it came from

i just remember it was great fun to use

and a definite memory from my past

of standing in the kitchen around this bowl of nuts

waiting for my turn to use the nut-cracker

i love its unique design

so when Dad put it in some "stuff"

for our 3-Day garage sale last year,

i quickly rescued it.

i haven't used it .....but maybe i need to start

so it can

continue being useful....and make new memories

for others
