In 1982 we moved from Orangeville, back home to Newton. We lived in Grandma Gwennie Salisbury's home since she had just passed away the month before. The family cleaned out most of her stuff, but I inherited a few things no one wanted, like this scrub brush. I've used it for 28 years cleaning my bathroom sinks and vanities. Just this past year, the wood started to crack and the bristles started falling out. No telling how long Grandma had this brush before I got it. It could be 40 to 50 years old.
Anyway, I was thrilled one day as I was watching a Harry Potter movie. In the scene where Harry goes to Ron's house for the first time, there's a frying pan magically being cleaned in the sink with a scrub brush. It's exactly the same as mine!!! (There used to be a metal hook on the end of the handle). I'm probably the only person in the world who took note of the scrub brush instead of the fact that the frying pan was floating in the air :).
It's with deep feelings and regret that I finally retire the old scrub brush and exchange it for this sleek, new model.
Good bye old friend. Not only have you served me well, you've had a moment of fame. I'll miss you :).
