Jim's Hats by joansmor

Jim's Hats

I have had these hats hung on a different floor but now I am trying to limit everything to the main floor I wanted to find a new place to hang them. So I brought a hat rack and my niece's husband installed it for me. Now when people visit they will be greeted by these hats on the enclosed porch by the front door. My husband never left the house without his hat. He shoveled snow in them in the winter. I kept these for remembering him.
I took this picture with my new lens. I took some more pictures during the day and will probably post them going forward.
By the way, it was fitting to hang them yesterday as it was my Jim's birthday. He would have been 104. Yes you read that right. He was 32 years my senior.
A beautiful shot and great tribute to your husband. My father was 20 years older than our mother and we thought that was a lot! Your new lens seems to be fabulous.

What a great idea. You will think of him every time you come in and out. Lens did a great job!

What a lovely way of preserving a memory. My mum would never part with my dad's dog walking cap.

I think this is such a nice way to remember him- a routine of his and something he enjoyed using. And I like the photo too- the wood adds a nice backdrop to the hats. The new lens works great!

I still have Bill's hat right by the kitchen door where he'd always put it when he came in. Makes me smile as I hope this does you.

What a wonderful tribute to your husband. Very special to have something so much a part of him to be able to see it every day.

@samae We said more Dec- May. And though he knew my parents when they were alive he worried that they wouldn't approve but I knew they would because he made me happy.
