The Clock That Won't Keep Time

A couple of months ago I was lucky enough to win a CSN gift card giveaway from Mimi at Vanilla Haven.
I wanted to share with you what I purchased with my gift card.

It was hard to choose from SO many choices.

Finally, after waiting until the very last day to choose, and after many visits to the CSN website.

This is what I picked.

I happen to really like clocks.

  Almost every room in my home has at least one.

This one looks antiqued and it is large, 24" round.

Right now the clock is in the living room.

But.

If you were to visit my home you might wonder why none of these beautiful clocks are 

 ON TIME!

Or if they even

WORK?

At one time they were,

on time,

and

they did work.

UNTIL

Mr. M. removed the batteries

one

by

one.

You see, the noise of the tick, tick, tick, tick drives him up a wall,

when he is trying to sleep.

He is a napper!

I showed him the new clock.

  Nice, isn't it?  I asked. 

Yes, he agreed, but what is the hanging thing at the bottom?  He asked.

The pendulum.  I answered.

What exactly does it do?  He asked.

It swings back and forth keeping the time.  I answered.

I knew.

I did not really have to ask.

But, I did.

Are you going to let me put a battery in it?

Not likely, was his answer.

In a joking manner I told him I would hang it as HIGH as I could so he could not reach it.

But I won't.

It won't be keeping time, but I love it anyway.

Thank you Mimi.

If you have not met Mimi or visited her blog, you must stop by, say hello for me.

Just like me, I think she is trying to think of anything but WINTER!

Or

You could spend an hour or two visiting CSN, so much to look at.

Well, I hope you have a great day, I am off to find a battery!
