I sure am late in checking in but “things happened”. At lunch, warning of bad weather coming tomorrow and Friday so I went to the grocery store. Just needed a few things and everyone knows how that is!!
I loved “Grandma’s Hands”....brought a tear or two. My mom had short stubby fingers and used to hate her hands and always added “these hands have done an awful lot of hard work”. And they had done that for sure. I was fortunate that I got my dad’s hands, longer fingers and have always been able to grow long nails. Red Hat lady asked me one day “Are those your real nails?” I like to paint my nails also and usually keep them painted (BUT I DO A LOT OF HARD WORK)!
I wear gloves of course because if I don’t my fingers get splits in them and hurt very bad!
Loved your thread and the Pledge is so pretty...thank you, Billie~~~~
Good morning, jaycee - I am even later checking back in on this thread. Grandma’s Hands brought tears to my eyes, too. It’s a sweet story, though, and am sure it brings back a few memories of our own Grandmas and all the things she did and all the love she gave.
