Here's a picture of Ma with her reading glasses on. Bonita took this picture on the last day that I saw her in January. I love her smile in this one. You can double click on the center of the picture and it will go to full screen size.
It's wonderful Ma could read so well. What a blessing. I think the book "The Shack" was Bonita's. It wasn't mine, so whoever has it and passes it around can get it back to Bonita eventually.
I think of Ma when I knit. I am not nearly as prolific yet as Ma was with her knitting, but I guess I'm a bona fide grandma now because I'm knitting for the grandkids and "whoever else" it might be for. Knitting reminds me of Ma, so that's a neat connection.
What reminds you of Ma? Let's hear from y'all.
Love,
Paula
Quilting reminds me of Ma. She taught me to quilt a few summers ago while Kelley was painting her house. We made 2 quilts. I have one, and Kayci has the other one. Janet and Deb taught me how to use the tools to cut squares and make the binding. Ma showed me how to put it together. She even gave me her little safety pins she always used. I've made one for 5 of the grandkids and have pieces for 3 more. I guess I'm really a grandma, too.
