This weekend we went to visit Ma for her birthday. We were able to attend a Project Linus group meeting with her. I am always amazed at how many blankets that group makes in a month let alone a year! They are an amazing group of women. They make blankets for children in foster homes, hospitals, etc. They even use their scraps to make pillows for homeless dogs in shelters. This meeting we were able to surprise Ma with a birthday cake which was really good! After Project Linus, we went to eat at a Mexican Restaurant in Neosho...one that we won't ever eat at again! It was awful...the girl didn't even speak English and didn't even know how to run a calculator. Ma had to help her make change! You know when you go into a place to eat at noon and there is no one there, you really should leave!!! Oh well....great memories for sure!

YOUR MOMMA SAID:
Aren't those women amazing???? Over 70 quilts/blankets turned in just THIS month alone! QUEST QUILTERS...ya'll really need to be ashamed....This group of retired women are absolutely amazing with their creativity...everyone brings something different to the table, don't they!
And yes, you and Mom are SOOOO right about not going to a restaurant at noon that has NO cars in the parking lot!!!!!!! That WAS the nastiest salad I've ever had or seen....and good grief - tacos don't "pee" water out the other end when you bite into them, right? LOL LOL
Love ya! Your momma
Melissa, I LOVE, love, love all these pics of the Project Linus visit and Ma's birthday! I SO wish I was closer so I could hop in the car for a shoter trip to see her MUCH more often!
Thanks fo posting this stuff, I was (as always) in tears. I especially love the pic of your Dad looking at Ma while they were at Project Linus- really special. Will you email a few of those to me so I can save them and also so I can have your email address?
