Suprise Visitor

Our no.1 granddaughter Sam called Thursday night asking would we like some visitors for the week-end. We both were beyond excited. The girls had been given the week-end off from Lacrosse practice.

Saturday morning started with a huge southern breakfast, home made biscuits, country ham,  bacon, eggs, hash browns and gravy. They had never seen gravy being made. They don't have that in Ma. and Ca.        For dinner we had buffalo burgers a first for them also.

They got to go downtown Saturday night for St Patrick's  and March Madness. Sunday morning another big breakfast, this time I made chocolate gravy. The next time they might bring the entire team. lol.

Courtney wanted to learn to knit, we found thread and needles, started her on a scarf with knit and purl stitch. I might have to go visit their college and teach her to bind off.

Sent them off with  lots of hugs and prayers for a safe trip back to SC. Granddaughter Samantha is on left. Isn't she beautiful?  A wonderful, blessed week-end.

Quilt Storage Closet

I have a closet in Mom's old room that is 42in by 14ft that I store my quilt and all the quilts from my Mom, Grandmothers and Aunts. I also have a lot of their vintage crochet tablecloths, bedspreads and afghans. I have about a hundred quilts in it. 

The closet was called the sewing closet on the original house plans. When we moved in Mom had this as her room when she was here. Guess it will always be called Mom's room. I miss her so much, but can go into this room and set in her chair, read her Bible, look at her things and remember her furious love for all of us.
