Lifelong Love for Wood and Everything that Belongs to a Happy Life
I, Grandma-Anke, have more than 70 years of life behind me.
Wood has surrounded me all my life, starting with the crib made of white slats and sticks, the wooden star that hung over my crib, the wooden chair that I was soon seated in, the edges of which I could hold on to and the little footboard that I could soon stand on could tap my toes.
There was the wooden rocking horse, brightly painted from broad, solid slabs of wood and a small seat board that left red stripes at the corners on the thighs. There was the little bright yellow duck, made of wood and on wheels, which I could pull behind me on a string, which clattered wonderfully loudly over the cobblestones and often fell over and had to be put back on its wheeled legs.
The first doll's bed made of wooden slats, the small cradle for the teddy bear and the first scooter with a solid wooden footboard!
Then there was the small children's table with 2 high chairs. I always wished for 4 because I often had other children visiting besides my little girlfriend and when we were playing "father-mother-child" there had to be room for the whole family.
Even my little children's kitchen was made of wood: small drawers with wooden knobs, a stove with a painted cooking surface and a painted fireplace on the front. Two shelves on which it was possible to put doll's cups and plates. The dented tin pots went into the cupboard, which was properly lockable.
There is so much more I remember! This lovingly crafted children's furniture and toys made me happy, so happy that they are still important to me after so many years. The long lifespan of these things - even though they were properly maltreated - still amazed me later.
Wood is a durable material, good to run one's hands over, beautiful to look at and with the different grains a living companion of a phase of life.
In this sense: soon I will remember further! To MY wooden companions that I still remember after such a long time.
Your Grandma-Anke

Anak Bule dari Jerman
By: Amina On 08/09/2022wow... sy senang melihat photo photo lama anak anak Bule dengan baju dan rambut kepang yg cantik, cute boy dengan topi unik dan mereka memakai sepatu lengkap dengan kaos kaki.
Ga seperti dikampung sy di Jakarta, jaman sy kecil, anak anak hanya pake kaos kutang dan celana pendek, tanpa alas kaki.
Kuda kudaan mengingatkan sy pada anak tetangga yg kaya.
Mereka punya mainan kuda kayu yg sepertinya mainan mahal pada saat sy kecil.
Terimakasih nenek Anke dari Jerman telah berbagi kisah yg menakjubkan ini.
Semoga anda sehat selalu dan berbagi cerita lebih banyak tentang dunia anda.
Salam dari Amina Jakarta.
