Gnome Sweet Gnome

This little gnome...I don't really know his story. When my parents prepared to move from my childhood home to their new home {next door to me} in 2006,

I happened upon this sweet little guy. Since Mom had no plans for him, she gave the gnome to me.

 

 

I think, perhaps, he belonged to my grandmother and my mother held onto him for sentimental reasons. And that's what I've done...I'm sweet on this gnome for sentimental reasons.  So, here he sits, in a special spot close to our doorstep,

welcoming guests with his sweet smile.

 

"A smile is the universal welcome."
