Thanks Pam,
Your thread reminded me of my mother, grandmothers and greatgrandmothers, and their hands.

They did parties of quilting, tating, embroidery, crocheting, cooking, and baking the traditional family favorites, and when resting finally, their fingers slid along the pages of the family Bible's.

They all had large families, from 14, 12, 10, 6, kids.

Grandma Alice, who did most of the scripture reading I remember, made bread. Grandma Tillie was the Polish grandma with all the great family traditional favorites my children are now learning.
My Mom, made sure I learned all the receipes from the both sides of my family, Polish dishes she learned from Tillie for my Dad, Alice's canning and bread making she learned from her parents and grandparents of German, PA Dutch cooking.

But, I always remember their hands; when they sat and worked with the yarn and threads. Whether it was a quilt for new bride, baby clothes I cherish so much, and the way each one held their hands, to my cheeks and gave me a kiss.

Your son and family will always remember how dedicated you were to them, the time spent together, and your hands working away on the special projects in your home.
Bless you for making those memories.
