Daddy's little helper.

My little grandson loves having his dad (my ds) home. Ds was home schooled and when he finished his schooling he applied to one of the "elite"unis here. he was refused entry as they said his curriculum was not of a high standard. The funny thing is : 2 degrees later from a diffrent uni and my son is lecturing at the "elite" uni. Yes I am a proud mum.

Treasure Tuesday- From my friend Clare. these are special spoons that I received for an engagement present..A very funny story-unfortunately the picture is the best I could do. my dh 's grandma gave us thes when we were engaged in 1976. She told us they were very special as they are actuallyy marked SIAM(the original name of Thailand). We happen to show my in-laws a bit later and they could not stop laughing. They had brought the spoons back as a present to Grandma when they were in the Air force earlier. It is a very fond and loving memory of Grandma.

Wow it is Tuesday already . I am not getting much blogging done . My friend CLARE is having her Tuesday's Treasures. To day I am showing you my special "book".I won this as a prize for school . It was first in class at reading in 2nd class and I still love reading books. I am so thankful to the nuns who taught me many years ago .

Treasure Tuesday again over at Clares I have a "bush fire " box. In it are all my things I woud hate to lose. I am going through it now.My treasure this week is this lovely porcelain trinket box handpainted by my MIL shortly before she succumbed to breast cancer in 1984. She was a very talented lady.I just love it. It is very delicate and the floral arrangement she painted was of little white daisies. Thanks Clare for this show and tell.

I know I am doing my "Dear Jane" quilt but I have found something else. A sampler quilt along. hopefully I can conquer this one.

My friend CLARE is having a Tuesday Treasures.As strange as it seems my hockey stick is one of my treasures. It was my aunt's and when she died she had told people to give it to me. It must be about 60 yrs old now. It brings a tear to my eye now thinking about it.

Has been so long since I have put anything on here. We have a very regular visitor these days so I do not get as much free time.
