Thoroughly Thankful Poetic Pictorial Thursday

Today we join Two  SPOILED CATS 

Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.

Here is our photo challenge
and did it ever bring back memories

Of my daughter in almost the exact pose


Big M

She was (still is) the apple of our eyes
from the tip of her head to her
slippers of blue.
By fourteen months she was putting together
sentences that mostly made sense;
however, some made me scratch my head thinking
I must be dense.
Once when walking along the side walk
she said, "excuse me bush".
I asked why she said, because I ran into it.
She talked non stop from morning til dusk.
August 1973 she had just turned two.
It was no surprise to us,
when she asked pretty please may I answer the
phone. She had perfect phone etiquette
She answered each ring quickly.
 To those on the other end  she brought glee.
Usually her grand peeps and her uncle. 

Everyday at lunch her Daddy would call

She could carry on a conversation with all no matter the age.
We knew from day one her personality 
would charm and engage.

August 1973

I am also joining the Brian and his pride
today for

I do so appreciate all of your very kind and encouraging comments
on my first quilt. For many years I have wanted to try quilting.  I thought I could do it, and I did.  Now I'm working on #2.


I'm thankful that Teddy and Angel Sammy's mom told me about
Teddy's Aunty and Pam's sister, Carol Dean Jones, who is
 an extremely talented quilter and
wonderful author of the Quilting Cozy Series.
I sent Carol a picture of my quilt and OMCs she sent me an email she loved it...what a thrill that was.
I ran right out to order Book 1 Tie Died.
I'm now reading Book 2 Running Stitches
I love the series for many reasons #1 it is about a group of
woman my age not being afraid to LEARN new things at
a local quilting shop: Stitches.  There is mystery, intrigue and good
conversation.  There is pattern for a quilt in books 1 and 2.
