Brother Bob and Beth came to spend one night earlier in the week, and they set up our family clock. They are moving to a smaller home and had already delivered the case. The first step was leveling the case. What a job! Beth leaned the clock back so that Bob could get to the leveling screws. After making slight changes, they pushed it back against the wall to see if it was level. I lost track of the number of times they repeated this.
This was the final measure. With the clock leveled and back against the wall, he used gloves to handle the weights and pendulum. The clock has a lovely ticking sound, and the chimes are marvelous. I am going to enjoy having it.
After that painstaking work was done, we went to Beach Mountain Diner to have lunch. I think Bob was demonstrating a fancy way of eating sweet potato fries. I always have lots of fun when they are around.
Happy New Year!!
