The Things We Remember

Photobucket
I’m sorry that it has been over a week since I posted. I have been on vacation. My husband, my mom and I traveled, by car, to Dallas, Texas to visit my sister, Lynne. You might know her as The Sewing Mom. Once we got to her house, my other sister, Grace and her husband arrived from Kentucky. Then, we gals headed to Houston for a quilt show.

If you have ever traveled with your siblings you have probably experienced the fun of “recalling memories”. My poor mom probably wished we would quit saying, do you remember. LOL

One thing that I remember doing as a child was having picnics. Even if we only went into our yard to lay down a blanket and eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, it was fun to do something out of the norm. I carried on this fun tradition with my own children. They would get so excited to see me getting out the picnic basket sets, an old blanket and hear me say, “let’s eat outside”! It is amazing how lunch becomes fun with picnic backpacks and lunch cleanup is extra easy.

    We went on picnics when I was growing up, mostly on Sundays after church (with my mother’s homemade fried chicken, etc). Great memories!

    This is a great gift idea. Something I wouldn’t have thought of. My mom is a super proud grandma and loves her *job*- I bet she’d love something like this for Christmas.
