I remember the meals we ate together more than the dishes. It all comes together because mom, like you humbly shared, is giving place to those she serves.<br /><br />My little grandchildren are coming from a state away this afternoon to spend the weekend so I'm gearing up for full-time service again, cooking ahead so I can play. I can't wait to hold them. <br /><br />Your baby looks so sweet and cozy wrapped in knitted love. The doll will be quite special. <br />Karen A.Karen Andreolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135239838790568639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-74412770715671854152012-02-06T11:30:20.027-05:002012-02-06T11:30:20.027-05:00Been thinking the same here!Been thinking the same here!Adriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824771468522585038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-68035731443545773572012-02-05T22:11:53.934-05:002012-02-05T22:11:53.934-05:00I wrote a post today about this whole topic of lov...I wrote a post today about this whole topic of love and sacrifice.
