Grandfather’s Clock Collection

I’ve always been fascinated by my grandpa’s clock collection, even now that I’m an adult.  I’m not sure what it is about time, but he has a passion for clocks.  He told me a few weeks ago that he had over two hundred different clocks around his house!  I don’t know how my grandma stands it.  In addition to all the cuckoos, rock clocks, and wind-up clocks, he has an extensive collection of collectible clocks.  His collectible clocks range from Loony Tunes to automobile manufacturers, and he has entire hallways and rooms with different themes!

 

 While I don’t think I’ll ever want the excess of collectibles my grandpa has, I do have my own passion for driftwood.  I’ve started to build up a tidy little collection in my den, and I kind of wonder if one day I’ll become just like my grandpa.  I suppose one day, it just dawns on you that your collection has swelled to a size too large, but it’s not as if you would want to stop either!
