04 May 10 - 12:13 PM (#2899850) Subject: RE: BS: Special Thanks to Jacqui and kendall From: open mike i wonder how many miles of yarn that gal has turned into treasures... many of us are recipients of her generous creativity!! How lucky we are that Kendall and Jaqui are in our midst. And congrats old dude welcome to the ranks of grand parent hood! |

04 May 10 - 12:23 PM (#2899858) Subject: RE: BS: Special Thanks to Jacqui and kendall From: Stilly River Sage Those two are such generous souls, to be sure! I've tried to take up the example from Jacqui--stealth gift giving is fun for the recipients, and fun for the giver too, so I've been sending out a few items for folks who needed a little pick me up. I have a lot of material here at the house to choose from when recycling books and such, but whatever the item, it really is nice to see Jacqui's example that a small gift can mean a lot (especially one of those handmade items!)

Kendall is okay except that he spends a lot of time scratching his balls....... Spaw |

04 May 10 - 02:11 PM (#2899945) Subject: RE: BS: Special Thanks to Jacqui and kendall From: Rapparee Is that why Kendall is scratching? He's allergic to wool? |

04 May 10 - 04:44 PM (#2900035) Subject: RE: BS: Special Thanks to Jacqui and kendall From: kendall Ease up you guys; don't you know Jacqui is English? They are shy and retiring and never call attention to themselves. All this attention is getting to her; right now she's hiding under the bed. |

And they will all know where it came from Thank you |

05 May 10 - 08:59 AM (#2900510) Subject: RE: BS: Special Thanks to Jacqui and kendall From: Cuilionn Ah, OldDude, you underestimate the passionate attachment between a child and a blanket. My Godson (age 25) cooried doon with his beloved blankie for years and years. One day when he was about 10 or 11(!) and otherwise well-adjusted, his mama stole it away for a long-needed washing and it sort of floated apart in the wash... still, he persisted in tucking the shreds into his pillowcase so he could touch it while falling asleep. On a visit home from college, years later, he accidentally left his wallet. We found a grey scrap of that old blanket tucked in between his driver's license and his student ID card! Here's wishing and hoping your own wee grandbairn gets as much loving use and comfort from his own handmade treasure...but don't you be too surprised if it wears out in less than 40 years! --Cuilionn |

05 May 10 - 10:43 AM (#2900556) Subject: RE: BS: Special Thanks to Jacqui and kendall From: Rapparee I was going to suggest a gentle washing every now and then...of the blanket, I mean. I assume the kid will get one. |

05 May 10 - 11:23 AM (#2900585) Subject: RE: BS: Special Thanks to Jacqui and kendall From: topical tom A very nice gesture, Jacqui and congrats to you, Grandpa! Grandchildren are blessings to be spoiled! Enjoy! |

05 May 10 - 03:00 PM (#2900730) Subject: RE: BS: Special Thanks to Jacqui and kendall From: SINSULL a rash not his nether regions. Poor Kendall had a reaction to the Lidocaine again. He may need a soft warm baby blanket. |

05 May 10 - 06:06 PM (#2900860) Subject: RE: BS: Special Thanks to Jacqui and kendall From: Stilly River Sage My son is 18, and still sleeps with a quilt made by a neighbor woman in our old neighborhood. She had each kid on the block draw a cat on a square (some of them are very primitive, because the kids were very small) and then she set them in a lovely quilt. I wash it very gently. He's going to college next year. I wonder if this will go also? (His favorite bear was moved to the closet a couple of years ago, after hanging out on the bed forever, because he was just too brittle). SRS |
