Mom's sock-Amish Dolls

In trying out my new camera the other night I took some photos.
Sitting on my recliner I snapped this photo of the Amish Dolls my mother used to make out of socks.

Next to it is the bunny rabbit that I made out of a old quilt. I made three things, a bunny, a teddy bear and a heart out of that old quilt. It was a quilt that was on Bud's side of the family and his sister Judy wanted a remembrance of the lady who's quilt it was. Therefore, I worked around the holes and made the animals.


In seeing the dolls that my mother had made it reminded me of one of her last Thanksgivings here on earth with us.
I lived 40 miles away, Mom was cooking dinner. When I woke up Thanksgiving morning there was way too much snow on the ground for me to drive my small car the 40 miles.
So, my older brother came 30- miles from Findlay to Decatur and picked me up and we headed out the other 40 miles to go to Mom's for dinner.

Upon arriving---Mom told me she was surprised to see us the way the weather was.
My reply, we are here to eat and run, He has chains on his car so he will get me back to Decatur and get back home himself.
I don't think I even helped wash dishes that day. But was able to enjoy a home cooked meal.

We have not had any snow this fall yet, I sure am hoping history doesn't repeat itself and I wake up to 11" of snow like I did that morning.
