Family time, especially with the food and fellowship, brings memories of other family times together. Some of the memories are hilariously funny. Some are sad - especially involving family not with us for some reason. But some memories bring at least smiles, usually some laughter, and everyone seems to agree it is the "best" one. In some cases the idea is still happening.......
Our favorite memory......... Dad and I had watched a special, on Quilts of Valor, on PBS. Dad bought the DVD and patterns. We chose the day after Christmas because we could all be together - no one had to be "back at work" including the sister who doesn't sew. We all were doing something. Dad, and oldest grandson, played chess and watched TV movies. Sister who doesn't sew kept snacks, lunch and food available between times reading. Then 4 of us were quilting - 3 generations of quilters - me, older sister, her daughter and granddaughter. It was a wonderful day spent together with great memories. In fact..... we still take the day after Christmas to do quilting. The 4 of us still work on quilts, those who don't quilt find other activities and someone is keeping food, coffee and munchies available. Sometimes we "only" get one quilt top done, sometimes two... one year we actually got three done! So....what is your best memory? Something to think about......
