A Lost Treasure, Found!


My Dad sent me the pictures from our visit on Valentine's Day, here's my Mom and I.
Mom, are you still reading "These Hands" every day?!  (I think she liked it!)

My older brother came in from Louisiana for a visit that week.  I don't get to see him often enough and I wish we lived closer to each other!

Ah, cousins!  My nephew was able to come too, such a sweetie. 

Another version of triple trouble!

This is a piece my Dad found, stuffed in a corner of a desk drawer in the basement.  My Mom made this way back in 1981, he couldn't believe it wasn't damaged.  So he cleaned it up and went and had it framed.   I love it, she did a great job!

    What great pics Astrid. The cousin in the middle with the blue T-shirt reminds me of Harry Potter. Great looking kids. The stitched pieced your mom did is gorgeous. Hard to believe it survived in a drawer for so long. What a wonderful gift your dad gave her.

    How fortunate the stitching survived and in such good condition too, what a find! And I agree with Linda, your nephew does rather resemble a young Harry
