does anyone know?

i have this throw rug in my hallway that used to be grandma kate's:

do any of you know whether she might have actually made it herself? i have no recollection of her doing any craft-type things, but did she sew or make such things? can someone tell me a story?

now i get it.

when i was a kid it used to infuriate me the way grandma kate would always move my glass in from the edge of the table. even when there was no danger whatsoever that i was about to spill it. but now that i have a child myself, i totally understand. sometimes it takes years before you understand stuff.

a small corner of peace

...but not really that quiet. (that might be a good name for this blog.)

i know people are busy and not necessarily computer-savvy, so i'll try to be patient and i'll just hope that all of you nachtigals are at least LOOKING at this blog and that you'll be moved, like cousin Karen, to send me a little note. Here's what she shared:

"I still remember when Grandma Kate lived with us and I would get peace and quiet while the Price is Right was on. Ryan would always yell Gamma - Bob's on and he would go and watch with her!!!"

If you'd rather get your stories out there this way, I'm happy to do the posting! :-)
