The very truth of who we are…

Hi Papa!  I wanted to write to document something that I feel that You’ve been putting on my heart for about a week or so.  I wanted to document it so that, if I or someone else, looks back at my life, I have documented the growth You’ve caused in me. ...

A Lasting Legacy…

This year, for Christmas, I decided to make each of the grandbabies a quilt of their own...a special keepsake...a lasting legacy. I know that they won't understand the importance of handmade things from the older generation for a long time, but as they age and look...
