You have the best photos! And the greatest memories!
And thank you for sharing them!
Whats for dinner? She probably kept water in the big pot on the stove, so the water bottle was there for easy filling.
My guess it was chicken which I grew to hate . She made best homemade bread right up to her death in the wood burning stove next to this one 2 stoves . She preferred the wood one . There was always donuts, homemade bread or sugar cookies on counter for any callers on any day , But she was happiest outside with the animals and her strawberry patch or working the fields a very strong women who when life seemed to wash over me she drew me a little train and wrote" I think I can I think I can I knew you could " I still have her note and carry it my purse :-)
