There are few things greater than getting a package in the mail from my Grandma Lou (Eric's maternal grandmother). She's handy and crafty in a number of ways, so you know it's something good. Yesterday a package arrived, and inside was a handmade quilt for the baby.This was not unexpected, as Grandma Lou is a consummate quilt-maker. In fact, she made one for me when I was born, and I slept under it off and on through the end of the college, and still have it. So no doubt our little one will get decades of use out of this one.
The WORST thing about opening the package was that it smelled like Grandma Lou's house, which made everyone homesick. Thanks Grandma Lou! The quilt now hangs on the rocking chair in the baby's room.
