Sewing

It is amazing to think of all of the things that Mom has sewn for us through out the years.  Just to name a few: blankets, pillow cases, prom dresses, speedos (shawn especially loved those) and the list goes on.  The item of most significance for me as a child was my Ronald McDonald blanket.  That was my favorite blanket and I used it every night.  Eventually it became so ragged that it had to retire and I still have it stored away ( I guess that is the hoarder inside me).  Mom has continued on with this tradition and makes blankets for all of the grandchildren.  Randy James's blanket just happens to have the "Little Engine That Could" which was my favorite story as a kid.  He absolutely loves that blanket.  He asks for it at night and if he takes a nap, "I need my train blanket, letters up."  Thank you Mom for all of your sewing projects and blessing that it has been and continues to be for all of us.
