Made to last~

Yesterday, as my mom was getting dressed, her jewelry case was placed in her lap to select rings and things for the day. She picked up a watch and said, "I haven't seen this in years. Do you know how old this is?"
"I was given this diamond watch for 10 years of service at Packard[the car co.]. "
Flo didn't believe it still worked, and so I brought it to a jewelery store. They looked it over, declared that it was certainly pre-battery days, explained the wind-up process, and guess what...It keeps perfect time!! It has to be 65-70 years old. Little joys rediscovered are such a treat. An 'old bird' and old 'watch'- both still ticking...both of them gems!
