My sweetest childhood memories were with family. I haven't any family now and memories are all I have. So this is truly right up my alley. Grandma on one side crocheted and grandma on the other side did a lot of hand stitching. Mom cooked and cleaned, non stop. So I would be in her way, she'd say go watch your grandma. One of them had me hold her yarn and Tell me yarns, lol. The other would allow me to 'load' her needles and give me pointers on P's and Q's. I loved helping them. Guess I didn't know that I was learning all the while But, I fetched and assisted...that is what I do now, part-time, I help elderly ladies.
I am so blessed, Ruth
