Growing up, we just took those things for granted. But remembering it today through your post makes me long for the innocence and loveliness of yesteryear.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05334129707341089450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14484567.post-73970378108387061142008-04-24T12:40:00.000-04:002008-04-24T12:40:00.000-04:00This post made me think of an old quilt that was m...This post made me think of an old quilt that was made for my grandmother. I inherited this quilt when my grandmom died four years ago. At the time I would hold up the quilt to my face and breath in the scent of my grandmother. It's been four years, but I swear, her scent still lingers on this old quilt. Hmm....you gave me an idea for a blog post! :)Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09588415113040227148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14484567.post-1973758552989264612008-04-23T11:15:00.000-04:002008-04-23T11:15:00.000-04:00Love this post, dear Clew!

I love them too. His grandmother was an interesting lady who lived life full on throttle. <BR/><BR/>She spent a number of years running a whiskey joint in New Mexico for a time before moving to Texas. She ran a hotel/bar in Galveston for a number of years. Along the way she wound up married five times. <BR/><BR/>Too, she seemed to have never thrown anything away. She left us a virtual time capsule of items when she passed.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060218181879503238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14484567.post-78645592654870451692008-04-18T11:01:00.000-04:002008-04-18T11:01:00.000-04:00Awwww... you made me miss my grandma, too.

I remember the smell like it was yesterday.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16600646161985648267noreply@blogger.com
