Oct 9th - The story behind a plate/quilt/family heirloom.

I have a plate almost identical to this one hanging on my dining room wall. It's been passed down through the ages to the second son in every family. My dad was the second son in his family but my Grandma chose to give it to me because it's both Pat's and my heritage. My plate writing on the back that says


Brought from Russia by Grandma Giesbrecht's Grandparents Henry Esau's 1874


I love it.


I miss my Grandma.


I miss my dad.
