Rubber Band Day




Mickey Mantle's Birthday

Mickey Mantle was born in Spavinaw, Oklahoma. He was named in honor of Gordon "Mickey" Cochrane , the Hall of Fame catcher from the Philadelphia Athletics, by his father, who was an amateur player and fervent fan. According to the book Mickey Mantle: America's Prodigal Son, by Tony Castro, in later life, Mickey expressed relief that his father had not known this (Cochrane's true first name), as he would have hated to be named Gordon.

Mantle always spoke warmly of his father, and said he was the bravest man he ever knew. "No boy ever loved his father more," he said. His father died of cancer at the age of 39, just as his son was starting his career. Mantle said one of the great heartaches of his life was that he never told his father he loved him.

I do have a butterfly quilt made by my grandmother’s sister..She used what looks like silk crepe for the butterfly appliques..The butterfly fabric rotted, leaving the embroidered border on most squares.
I keep it because the back of the quilt shows the outlines and I love it..
I did crewel work once..That is the extent of my needlework..I have 2 framed crewel butterfly things I did years ago.
