talented




I received a special gift the other day. My mother and father (Mama and Daddy) MADE me a beautiful new bedspread! I was commenting to her when she was visiting the last time, that my bedspreads were becoming ratty. I intended to tie some quilts to replace the old ones. Well, what do you know, she and Daddy sent me this!!!


Just thought I'd share!


My mother has always been so talented in many things: drawing , playing piano, organ, guitar; writing poetry; baking; crocheting and I think knitting; uplifting and serving others; singing alto;(which I still try to do....)sending fun notes and letters; loving to be in and direct drama productions; cutting hair; sewing; driving boats with water skiiers(which I DON"T like doing); riding horses; cleaning and doing yard work;visiting with friends;teaching grandchildren and great grandchildren how to play Nertz and No Peeky; playing piano duets with daughters; and other things that I probably forgot to mention...(oh, and laughing with over small but funny to us things!)


I hope to be as accomplished when I'm a great grandma!!


I've also included a picture which was taken at my Niece's wedding a year or so ago, of My sister in law Judy; my mother; me and my sister, Kristen. Fun to be together!!!

What a fun surprise! I feel so loved when I realized someone actually listened to my wishes. What great parents.

Oh yes, it's not a dinner at Grandmas's without a riviting game of no-peeky. And wow, your bed looks so much different with a new bedspread. it's about time! Yay!
