You will have significant experiences. I hope you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience." Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

Grandma's Covers

When you were small.....and just a touch away,
I covered you with blankets against the cool night air.
But now that you are tall.....and have moved far away,
I fold my hands and cover you with my goodnight prayer.

MERRY CHRISTMAS COLEMAN


Both of our grand children were with us this Christmas which was a blessing. Santa was good to Coleman this year. His bike was hidden behind the couch. The boys were moving the couch to the other wall to make more room for gift opening. Coleman was standing in the middle of the floor waiting. When he turned his head he spotted his bike, pointed to it and with eyes wide open he said "Ohhhh bike huh? He hopped right on and called it his. My project this year was to make a quiet book. Coleman has a hard time sitting still in church. He gets very bored. I know, he's only 22 months old and the speakers just seem to be a bit over his little head, go figure. The last book I made was about 25 years ago and the majority of young moms today don't sew; therefore I could not find patternes anywhere. I went on line and found a few ideas but nothing that great. Thank goodness mom still had the tool to make the holes in the pages and set the eyelets. The cover is made of camoflauge, not my first choice but all the boys thought it was rad, so it won out. He will have hours of fun. I'm glad I made it and KEPT the patterns for Mya's book in a couple of years.
