First of all, I owe a big thank you to all who left a comment for me to enjoy yesterday. I was unprepared for the joy and inspiration this gave me as a Grammy, myself, now. I loved reading of grandmas with spunk and strong hugs and honorable women, with wise counsel and quick wit as well. Many of your spoke of hospitable women, ready with soup or a nice meal . . . and beautifully set or simple tables ... both leaving lasting memories.
There are grandmas who taught us how to bake, sew, knit or do needle work . . . and those who also sang, prayed and encouraged, maybe even during a foot massage. Some of you shared of long marriages . . . up to 70 years! Whether it be their smiles, their cookies, or time spent playing cards . . . everyone's memory speaks of a valuable impression left on them . . . an umbrella with a legacy of prayer and faith.
And the winner of yesterday's commenters is . . . drum roll ....it is Anita Brown! Congratulations! I know you live in Abbotsford, so I'll just drop off your gift at your house sometime. How handy is that?
Thank you ... everyone! Now, I have to get into the shower and get ready for a special little visitor.

congratulations Anita!! I am sure you deserve it. Thank you so much for reminding us of how important our grandmothers are in our lives.
What a wonderful surprise to be chosen! Thank you :)

Oh, thank you for your post..I am a day or two behind, but my great-grammy was a praying praying grammy. If not for her faithfulness in prayer for her family, who knows!! I am a grammy now and I pray more than do anything else. This is the only eternal thing I can do for my family....God is SO Faithful, isn't HE?
Congrats, Nitchy!
I was there when you dropped them off... they are adorable! What a sweet gift.
I also wanted to say, I made your Make ahead Roast Beef, that wasn't supposed to be "make ahead", but ended up being for another day. It was wonderful! My son who detests meat even liked it, so thank you!
Monika T ... I do not know if you will check back here... but you can email karebare52@hotmail.com about the possibility of ordering some potholders.
Ok - that's awesome! Those potholders are soooo adorable, kari!!
And Anita - you lucky winner you - I guess I'll be seeing those in use sometime soon!
