My clocks they all chime at slightly different times because l love their voices.  It brings back a memory of a movie I saw long ago with my mother about a town cryer who would announce the time on the hour.  Two o’clock and all is well he would cry out every hour on the hour and possibly the half hour.  Growing up mother had a grandmother’s clock sitting in the hall against my bedroom wall.  It was a smaller version of a grandfather clock thus the name grandmother.  It stood in the hall keeping time and keeping all of us on schedule.  But at night it would rock me quietly to sleep with the the tick tock of its voice and telling me all is well on the hour.  The clock was my grandmother’s and sat in my home long before I came into it.  Today it is silent as it sits in my sister’s home. It sits on display and is always visible although it no longer provides it soothing sounds.  In my home my clocks sit in most every room.  Some chime some just keep time.  Last week my husband noticed our grandfather clock was no longer keeping good time and suggested I get it fixed.  Today may be just the day to turn my quiet grandpa into another chimmer giving it a voice.  I sure hope it can be done. Will update this operation soon.
