Then I noticed she had tears running down her cheeks. When I asked her tenderly why she was crying, she said, "When will I every meet him?" Then I cried too.Pat Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760779673175109204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361077859023918156.post-41806819156374116882015-07-07T15:32:49.685-07:002015-07-07T15:32:49.685-07:00So many special things!

I think you're spot on with your reasoning as to how she came about that claim.<br />I'm sure those are flour sacks in your quilt; we have several in our family with nearly identical fabric, and I know they were flour sacks! Hand made quilts and crocheted bedspreads are a treasure.<br />I love the buffet! It would go very nicely with my old table and chairs and secretary that are already in my dining room. And the buffet I have in there is often a catch-all as well, and I cleared it off to take a picture for MY 10 Things of Significance!Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361077859023918156.post-47649494438858147052015-07-05T20:46:41.941-07:002015-07-05T20:46:41.941-07:00Thanks.
