Get rid of the maternity clothes. You won't need them again! I say this as a tease. My daughter is trying to get me to go through all my "treasures" and get rid of most of them.. She is right about some things..., but I tell her some of my treasures she can throw away after I'm gone, but until then I'm keeping them!----- Original Message ----- From: <TxBBNTwigsNTrees@aol.com> To: <TXWISE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 30, 2004 11:12 PM Subject: Re: [TXWISE-L] Grandma's Apron Thanks for the memories........ > In a message dated 8/30/2004 9:54:51 PM Central Standard Time, > jhubbard@mcn.org writes: > Somewhere I still have my grandmother's pattern for making those > bonnets.
