My mother handed me a brown crumpled grocery bag and said, “This is for you.” Keepsakes are handed out like this in my family. I keep telling myself it is part of the charm. In truth, it feels more like an illegal exchange. Inside was the rolling pin and I knew immediately whose it was. I had seen it used my entire life and yet if I dusted it for prints the owner’s would not be found. They had been worn into the wood long ago, an estimated 85 years of celebrations and sorrows rolled out into cookies and pies. My grandmother was proud of the fact she had no fingerprints. Just soft pads remained and to her that proved she had lived life right. She’d show me her fingertips with a smile but made it known she never wanted me to wear mine off. The fact I didn’t have to was another one of her accomplishments.
My grandmother prayed everyday NOT to make it to 100. She died at 99 years 11 months. She wasn’t depressed and was really quite spry, she just had an aversion to having to use 3 numbers to define her age. “It’s time to go.” she would say in her thick Swiss accent. “I don’t know anyone anymore.” I, being in my early thirties, would cheerily say – “you know me!” She would roll her eyes. I didn’t understand and it would take me years to grasp – it was her peers she missed. She finally passed one night in her chair without much ado. I know once freed of her aged body she sprinted for the bright, white light with all her might. The long distance runner finally seeing the finish line.
I like to use her rolling pin. I admit I don’t bake as much as she did. When I do, it reminds me of her and there is a warmth in my heart.

I'm not sure if they still call it that... I do know it's an amazing structure. One day I'll ask about getting up close to take shots. I recommend View On Black

Dargestellt wird „eine dem Pferd nachempfundene Gestalt, die sich, kreisförmig krümmend, einem Radsegment zuordnet“.
Im Sockel sind architektonische Versatzstücke des alten Lehrter Bahnhofs integriert, die durch vier Bullaugen betrachtet werden können.

This shot was taken from House Lane and it shows views right across the rolling landscape that surrounds the village of Slaidburn, the views stretch right up to a misty covered Easington Fell in the far distance.
