The Traveling Basket

I’ve been thinking about a basket my grandmother and grandfather brought a sea grass tote basket with them on the train. One time it had some food to eat canned tuna, cheese and cracker packets for the three day cross country journey trip from where she lived to our house.

It was great because we remembered this basket from when we went back one year. So this basket was passed back and forth across the country several times. Mom filled it for their return trip adding a can opener as I remember, I have fond memories of these type of baskets today.

I have a basket similar to this in my cupboard today it’s a smaller version when my sis was out last time we talked about our memories of this basket. It seems to come up when we are visiting each other! It has come sort of a tradition of portable hospitality for us.
