Pot Holders & Dish Towels

Hello Sweet Friends,

thank you for stopping by to visit.

This blog has been a blessing.

I can not believe that I ever thought about

closing it down.

Thank you for talking me out of it :)

The other day I was in Walmart
and I saw an old friend.
Gracie was the meat wrapper in an IGA
grocery store where I worked 
when Steve and I were married in 1976.

Apparently I made her a pair of 
hand embroidered pot holders as a gift,
way back then.  She mentioned them and said that 
she still has them and that they are
her favorites.

Gracie is 95 years young.
She lives on her own and even attends
the Senior Center aerobic exercise classes.
Not only that but she volunteers
every Monday in their Thrift Store.

She's an inspiration to healthy living.

After all these years
I think she deserved a new set of pot holders
So, I made these for her.

I thought a pair of matching
dish towels might be nice too :)

~~~*****~~~

I'm going down to the Senior Center to 
find her and give her, her gift . . .
I know she'll try talking me into attending 
the aerobic classes. 
I'm not sure if I could keep up with
this young chickadee :)

On my last post I asked if anyone knew

the name of this plant?

It was Granny Marigold, 

Happy One of "Life Is Good" 

and Charlotte aka "Lil Red Hen" 

that knew it

and thanks to them I will know what 

to look for next Spring, 

because I would like to get a few more 

and plant them on the other side of my picket fence . . .

for folks driving by to see and enjoy :)

You can find Granny's blog here :

  Charlotte has been on a blogging break 

for almost a year.

They are a bulb that you plant in the Spring.

From what I read it is a low maintenance perennial 

that multiplies and gets fuller each year.

Keep Smiling!

 Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
