April W Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 My sister's MIL was getting rid of her orchids and gave me 4 big, old (like 20+ years) healthy plants. I have never owned an orchid so I'm really excited about the blooms on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaR Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 What a neat Gramma... they will treasure the memories and the projects, but mainly yolu for sure. Mason did quite well, and that bench I think you had most of the hand in (LOL) is gorgeous. GD seems to like it well. RitaR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimmiequilts Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Terrific grandkids April, they are so lucky to be able to spend time with you. I still have all of the skills and memories of what my Dad's Mom taught me about knitting, embroidery, letter writing, rug hooking and my other Nanny taught us about holidays and family and good food! They will treasure all of their time with you as they get older! Beautiful orchids and I love the bench! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbigailE Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I can see the angel wing sitting on your granddaughters left shoulder as she faces the camera. I'm sure glad she has both, her angel and her bestest g-ma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April W Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Thank you all for looking. Abigail, there is actually a 20" angel with small animals sitting on a rock behind Leah. You can't see in this picture there is also a headstone in front of her for our beloved Zack that we lost in May 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
