I can't believe what my Mom found.

My Mom is cleaning out her place, going to sell it.

She found a Webster's Dictionary, on the title page, is still clearly written from my "Gramma," (Mom's mother, who died in 1989,) that she gave to me as a Christmas present, in 1970.
I was 11 years old.

It's a large, thick, red book.

And it's completely intact.

But in another, you obviously did not appreciate the gift at the time.



An heirloom for sure.
