Vintage Apron

And so yet another generation dons a "Minnie Apron".  Mother made this one sometime in the '70s after they came to Washington.  The edging is done with one of the decorative stitches on her newer sewing machine. 
When Grace made the pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, the apron seemed most appropriate.  When growing up, aprons were an essential item in our wardrobe to save our clothes from dirt and soil.  It made for less laundry which was only done once a week.  I know, it is only an apron.  But it makes a Great-Grandma seem real to my grandchildren who never saw her, yet they know her.

Mom's View

When the nurse told me they were moving Mom to the 11th floor, she was feeling very nauseous at the time and I couldn't help but wonder if the height would make it worse. But it was a beautiful clear weekend and at least she had this wonderful view out her window. I am so glad this week is over and she is at home. Thank goodness this happened over the winter months so your garden wouldn't get overgrown. You should be feeling better when the spring bulbs start pushing their way to the surface. Welcome home Mom!! Glad you're feeling better!
