The Cocoa Set

Bob's Father's Mother, Myrtle Marion, made a wonderful cocoa set.



It is beautifully made and lovely .


Grandpa Bill Cooper wrote about his Mothers China.

"My Mother and Father were very skilled with their hands- Mother did a lot of beautiful hand work including china painting. To watch her you would think it was easy. One day Dad was watching and was a little critical. Mother handed him the dish and invited him to try it. As good as he was with his hands he failed. Never again did he try that. From that day on he would always take guests into the dining room and show off Mother's China. They had a great deal of respect for each other. I can't remember any other time of criticism."
