A Sentimental Girl

There is nothing like the character of an older home.
I guess you could say I am sentimental.
These rooms remind me of my childhood.

There is a wonderful quality about each room.
Simple and rich in detail. 

I half expect Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy to waltz into any one of them.

Better yet, I would love to see my grandfather again 
shaving over the bathroom sink with his thick foamy shaving brush.
The floor, the sink, the freshness....they all come fondly back to me.
I would have foam on my nose and he would be telling me 
I was the most wonderful girl in the world.

There is nothing like a grandfather's love.

See, I said I was sentimental!
