ONCE UPON A TIME LEE,S AUNT GERT IN CHATHAM N.J. MADE ABOUT 17 AFGANS...THE KIND YOU PUT OVER YOU TO KEEP WARM. THE FIRST NE SHE MADE WAS FOR MY MOM. SHE USED BROWN RATHER THAN BLACK.. IT WAS THE ONLY BROWN ONE. MANY CROCHETTED SQUARES,MANY COLORS. I HAD ONE TO, BUT AFTER MANY YEARS IT GOT LOST. I USED TO WRAP MY BABIES UP IN THAT AND ROCK THEM TO SLEEP.. JUST LOKING AT THEIR LITTLE FACES WITH A FAINT BLUSH OF PINK ON THEIR CHEEKS..WATCHING THEM SLEEP AND DREAM. I AVE MISSED MY AFGAN FOR YEARS. WHEN WE WERE IN PHILLY IN JUNE I DISCOVERED MY MOTHERS AFGAN....I CRIED CAUSE IT WAS MOMS AND I HADN,T SEEN THAT FOR YEARS. YESTERDAY A BOX CAME.IT WASMY MOTHER,S AFGAN... MOM HAS BEEN GONE FOR 16 YEARS NOW. THE AFGAN STARTED N CHATHAM, WENT TO FORKED RIVER,THEN TO FLA. THEN BACK TO PHILLY AND NOW HOME TO ME IN FLA. ALL THE MEMORIES IN THAT BLANKET..STARTED OUT WITH NEW JERSEY MEMORIES...LIKE WE ALL DID. LEE-IN-THE-KEYS ------------------------------ This mobile message sent using PocketMail.

Lee, so glad you got your afghan back. I have a bedspread my grandmother made in 1936. I treasure it as I am sure you do your mother's afghan.
