I have loved catching up with your blog! Your dad looks so good for his age! I am so happy he is doing this. I remember wishing I had found Granny's quilts sooner. I got two but I always wanted one for each child. So that means I need 4 more!! :0) If I had the money now, I'd buy one. But I will always check your blog and as I can afford it, I'll try to get some of your dad's quilts. My girls use their quilts every single day. :0) Thank you Val for being such a wonderful lady! I love your blog so much!!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05485578021181313113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881189520578385241.post-15788685577278464242010-12-17T21:24:08.078-05:002010-12-17T21:24:08.078-05:00I love this post!

I am sure she would be so pleased.<br /><br />I also miss my grandma, wish I had hugged her more too! Not a day goes by that I dont think of her. <br /><br />Thank you for visiting my blog and letting me know you were there by leaving a comment. I will have a look over your lovely blog now.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />TaniaTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881189520578385241.post-86064297590976088922010-12-17T13:23:14.599-05:002010-12-17T13:23:14.599-05:00G'day Val ~ Two shares ...
One day I decided ...G'day Val ~ Two shares ...<br /><br />One day I decided to teach Joshua a lesson & told him as we passed this man about his need for food on his sign, & asked if he would lik eto buy the man lunch at McDonald's. Joshua was 4 & he lit up & said 'sure'. so we went to McD's, got a huge lunch, drove back ... Joshua rolled down the window & handed the man the lunch bag. The man was hesitant to come receive the gift & asked what it was. Hell-o!! 'Here come get it', I said to him. He was not very happy about this, took the bag & dropped it to the ground & said 'I've got 4 of them now' ... I was STUNNED, to say the least. <br /><br />What a beautiful share of Granny, once again ... I so love your precious stories of her & her quilts. And, now Daddy ... how beautiful Val. You melt my heart ... truly.<br /><br />Have a beautiful Christmas season, all year ~<br />TTFN ~ Hugs, MarydonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697196986038110683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881189520578385241.post-49960030243288406642010-12-17T00:45:28.966-05:002010-12-17T00:45:28.966-05:00This was such a sweet post...Imagine how many live...This was such a sweet post...Imagine how many lives Granny touched through her quilts..quilting is good therapy for your Dad.<br />Mama BearLove Bears All Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04091529156071883508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881189520578385241.post-50313084392433122922010-12-17T00:18:47.243-05:002010-12-17T00:18:47.243-05:00Val...YOU ARE THE INSTRUMENT to getting out Granny...Val...YOU ARE THE INSTRUMENT to getting out Granny's and now your Dad's quilts know and appreciated!
