Christmas Past by grammyn

Christmas Past

A little walk down memory lane tonight. My cousin and I seldom, if ever, exchanged Christmas presents. She lived in Michigan, I lived in Washington. Imagine my surprise one year when my sister and I received pillows that she made for us. They each had our initials on one side and this was on the other side of mine because I was taking piano lessons at the time. I don't remember what was on the other side of my sister's. It is still a treasured gift from my cousin and happy memory for me. Althought the initial is half worn away this side is holding up well for being over 60years old
You chose a lovely background to make this stand out so well.

@granagringa @summerfield @louannwarren @randystreat @kwind @30pics4jackiesdiamond @wyomingsis @shutterbug49 @ludwigsdiana @wakelys @tunia @madamelucy @lesip @linnypinny I really appreciate your kind comments about this mediocre photo. It means a lot to me that you traveled with me through my memories . I am surprised that you have such a vivid memory of it Jolene. It has been probably 50 years since I had a piano lesson Terri although I still pretend to play it every now and then. Thanks again everyone for you positive support!

I just checked and mine is the same… apparently I was still taking lessons when she made these. 😊
