Laugh if you like, but it certainly helped and he at least bought one in my favorite color! (No, not CHROME...BLUE!)
I did receive another gift this week. As much as I love the gift that Rod gave to me (because, how ofter does your husband buy you a WALKER!), the other gift is truly a very special and unique gift. When Rod and I visited his Aunt Emma in California, I was mesmerized by a frame that held some beautiful pieces of a quilt along with an old photo of an elderly woman. Emma explained that they were pieces of a quilt that had been hand-made by her Grandmother, which would have also been Rod's Dad's Grandmother and Rod's Great-Grandmother. The photo was a picture of "Grandma Walters" who had made the beautiful quilt.
So, this week, on the same day that I hurt my stupid knee, I received a wonderful, wonderful gift in the mail:
Isn't it absolutely beautiful?
I believe a very special cousin Lee and her husband Paul put the pieces together in the gorgeous frame and then mailed the finish piece to us. On the box was a tender note from Aunt Emma telling me that she thought I would enjoy my own "piece of family history."
I am so blessed to have been given the gift of such a loving family.
Thanks for reading.

Annette,
Wow that is an awesome gift. I have never seen anything like that and would have given anything to have had something like that from my Grandmother's sister. She made some beautiful quilts when she was a live. My baby quilt was actually made by her.
Oh so you are joining the Walker group with me. HUH!! Actually having the walker does help a lot I just hate having to use it. LOL!! I feel like I am 100 yrs old when I have to use it. LOL!!
I hope the knee gets better soon.
Love,
Sheila
Annette,
The picture is such a treasured piece of the past. What a keepsake for you, and how thoughtful to have been giving that lovely gift at a time you needed a "little lift". We are surrounded by angels in our lives, aren't we?
hugs, di
