✨Monday Mug Memories✨ From Denmark WA
This mug I grabbed from home before we left as it represents everything my parents taught us 💗
We (hubby, sister and brother in law) are currently down in Denmark to release Mum & Dad’s ashes. It is her birthday on Wednesday and also their wedding anniversary - perfect time 💜
Denmark…the place of many many family holidays when we were kids. So many memories made. Our family history takes us back to being the first pioneer settlers in the late 1800’s. Our great grandmother, in co-ordination with the local doctor, had the two front rooms of her house turned into maternity wards as there were no hospitals at the time. She would take the horse and cart and a little lantern with her to ride many miles..for days to help take care of mothers and new borns. We do have the book she has hand written in all the births from the early 1900’s. There is so much to this story and it’s fascinating and humbling.
☕ Mug Message of the Week
(This saying was on the wall at the Denmark Historical Society when we dropped off a lot of history to them yesterday) How true this is….
“When an old person dies a library burns to the ground”
“See you next Monday with another mug 🤍”
