Little Girl Lost
I was only a year and half when my parents got divorced. It was just my mom and me. I have a lot of memories of when I was little but most of those memories are through pictures and stories. I am not sure how old I was but I know that I was still in a crib because there wasn’t any room for another bed. Anyway I used to have a blanket that was light blue, and because I loved that blanket so much I took it everywhere. My mom and I had a female cat and she would climb into my crib and sleep with me. One day I noticed something was different. I woke and my blanket was bloody. I told mom to come here, and she did and she told me that the cat was having babies. She was having them on my bed on my blanket so she took the blanket out of my crib, and put them and the blanket on the bed so I would have room in my crib to sleep. She didn’t want me to touch them. Mom took them and the blanket and put them in the closet so I wouldn’t go near them because she told me that if I did the cat would kill her babies. So I left them alone. After the babies got big enough we gave them away.

Summer Time In Maine!
This is my son when he was 3 years old. This is very first time my son and I have seen the ocean. My husband has seen it many times on account that he has traveled the world. Anyway, back to our summer in Maine. My kids thought it would be cute to be buried in the sand. My husband and son dug a hole and buried my daughter up to her neck. My son wanted to do the same thing so my husband and daughter dug and hole and started to bury my son but he wasn't having it anymore, and I have the picture of his face saying yuck. I was laughing so hard, I wasn't sure if I was able to take the picture.

Family of Blankets
I was on Facebook a year ago and I came across this post from a lady that was starting a GoFundMe page and the post was saying that this family had lost their home from a fire. Well I clicked on the lady's profile and she had a video of her going through her home explaining each room. I wasn't into the video but for 10 seconds and I was in tears. What tugged at my heart was this family picture at the end of the hall. It was kind of scary. It was like the fire didn't touch that part of the house. The family was starting completely over from the ground up. I heard that they were living in a motel, and then they stayed with friends.

Ten-Stitch Peacock Blanket
When I was a teenager I use to go visit my grandmother for two weeks during the summer and she taught me how to paint with acrylics. I loved doing that but also she used to make knitted hats. She had a knitting machine. Boy this thing was huge. It took up most of the living room. I wanted to learn how to do that and so she gave me knitting needles. She showed me how to do two stitches and those were knit and purl. I was trying to make a blanket but it turned out to be a pot holder. I also thought it took too long to do that so I gave it up.
