Howard Miller clocks is the world’s largest maker of grandfather clocks. I’ve always adored grandfather clocks. There is just something about them that I like. Maybe it is the fact that I love the the nutcracker story or that my mother in fact owns a grandfather clock similar to this one. As I child I can remember staring up at that the wall above the kitchen table where my mother’s grandfather clock hung counting the pendulum as it swung back and forth counting the seconds of every day. I’d stare at that clock when I was in trouble and couldn’t leave the time out spot as well as while I would eat our family meals together waiting for my favorite show to come on. I’m sure that clock has a personality of its own and I hope that one day I will be able to inherit it.

As I look through my house I know realize what my house is missing. My house is missing a really great grandfather clock. One that you can hang on the wall just like my mother’s house has. I’m sure my kids would love to watch the pendulum just as much as I did as a child. In our current house we have a brick wall in our kitchen that is bare and needs something hung from it but until now I couldn’t think of anything to hang there. Now I know just the thing, a great grandfather clock would surely do the trick and fill up the empty space just nicely!
