Thanksgiving at Grams


This year we spent Thanksgiving at Grams house! As usual, it coincided with hunting season, but this year it was also a bull day!! Dad's bull no less! So, along with the cooking and eating, we were butchering and cleaning a couple of days later.

Gram had a postage stamp quilt that she wanted to finish and give to Candy, so mom, gram and I tied it, and it turned out nicely. I can't imagine sewing all of those little squares by hand!!

I also took a trip up the "dump hill" with mom (name doesn't do it justice, it is beautiful), and gathered some boughs from fir and cedar from Terry's yard, and I made wreaths for everyone. They turned out pretty well this year.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
