Over the years...
Each time a watch was "discarded" in our home,
I threw it into a jar. There were numerous reasons why
any one of us no longer wanted to wear our watches.

Styles change, on occasion a few simply didn't work anymore,
or kids grew up and wanted a more mature style.

Into the jar they were tossed and now time is ticking away in a jar.
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Till Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you.

Amazingly, some of the batteries are still going !
(And yet, when you really want the battery to last,
you don't even get a year from it...go figure !)

I enjoy going through this jar...
I lovingly handle each watch and think back to who it belonged to
and what year they wore it... it's a trip down memory lane.

A collection I never meant to start,
but somehow just appeared one day.
