MY FAIR ITEMS

Crocheted Dress

I entered ten items and won ten ribbons. Six blue, two red and two white. I was pleased. . I didn't make a picture of the lady bug purse at the fair...this is a picture I made at home.

Grammy said...: Hi, Clara, Beautiful items! You are certainly talented and I know what you have been doing with your time over the past several months... Commenting on your post below this one.... I remember going to Woolworth's and also Kress's. I remember the smells, too. There is nothing like that any more. I am so glad I got to meet you and your sweet grandsons before I left Tennessee. I really miss Tennessee!
Love you, Clara...; 9:29 AM

WHERE I'M FROM........

I am from hayfield and blackberry patches, gathering eggs and selling them to my Daddy in his store. I am from a house with no bath....but a path. I am from cherry trees where I climbed and ate more than I carried home.....from digging potatoes in the rich earth. I am from skinny dipping and swinging on grape vines, two room school house, sitting on the front porch while my Mother played the guitar.....wringer washers and wash tubs. I am from playing the piano, the accordian and making playhouses in the woods....hide and seek, jumping rope and May I. From: Raleigh's Liniment, Cracker Jacks and Castor Oil.....Revival Meetings and Baptisms in the river....catalogs and feed sack skirts. From: "Pretty is only skin deep" to "Always mind your manners." I am from Methodist, Baptist, Wednesday night prayer meetings and shouting Hallaujah. I am from the Volunteer state of Tennessee with lakes and mountains, race cars, beans, cornbread and red eye gravy. We always called it "God's Country." I am from family get togethers, dinner on the ground, singing with my sisters, a Mother with a heart of gold and a Daddy with a strict hand. A grandfather who always looked to see if I had my fingernails painted and a Grandmother who could squeeze your heart out! Yes, I came from a family of seven siblings and I have told you where I came from. It was wonderful and I wouldn't change a thing if I could. Now let me tell you where I am going...."To Where The Streets Are Paved With Gold." Some days, I can hardly wait!
