Mom and Me



I just got back from a visit to my mom in Arkansas.  She is 93 and is in a nursing home now.   My son took this picture of us on my birthday.  When I told her I have loved her for 74 years, she replied "I have loved you for 74 years and 9 months!"   The competition never ends...

(Click on the arrow to see the photo.   Andy didn't know he had the camera on video)

And do take notice of the quilt.  I made this tesselated leaf quilt for her years ago, and she won't go anywhere without it.
