My Mom would LOVE this clock! I’ve heard my Mom mention grandfather clocks for years. She’s never had one. Once she was given a German cuckoo clock as a gift and that ugly thing was on the wall until it died. I saw this clock and immediately thought of her. I know she’d display it right in the formal living room. She loves dark wood, so it would match perfectly. And she loves to display pictures of her grandchildren, and they’d look terrific on the shelves inside this clock. While I was on the 1-800-4clocks.com website I was thinking that it would be great if the four children (me and my three younger brothers) all chipped in and got my parents a grandfather clock for their next milestone anniversary. She would love it if we all worked together to do something nice for her. Great minds must think alike, because I noticed a post on the Grandfather Clocks blog that said they are seeing more and more people giving grandfather clocks as gifts for special occasions.
I think it’d be really neat to give her the Howard Miller grandfather clock pictured to the left, and inside place a small picture of each of the children and grandchildren. Eventually it could be handed down to one of the four children (hopefully me), and then handed down to the next generation, and so on and so on. Each time it was handed down pictures would be added. By doing this we’d be creating a wonderful way to remember family members and memories. It would also be a family heirloom that each generation could remember and cherish for a long time to come.
