I've been asked before if I collect roosters. That would be a no. I guess it was assumed since I have a large ceramic rooster and hen on top of my fridge that I must collect them. But I do not. I really don't want them all over my house. But this set I love. It was a set my Mam-maw had on her fridge.
I was so thankful that after she passed away, it was given to me. I love the reminder of the kitchen they once sat in. It was a place where all were welcome. And anyone and everyone could be fed. It was a place where we played games. And a ton of them! We loved playing Phase 10, Racko and Aggravation in the kitchen. It was a place where everyone gathered, felt included and loved, and wanted to linger. Just being together was a blessing. That's what I want for my home and my kitchen.
That rooster and hen are a good reminder to me. So when I took them down during Christmas, I realized they definitely needed a shower! It was nice to get them all cleaned up.
I sure do miss my Mam-maw.
