My service person is my son-in-law, Brian. I'm sorta behind
with my service for him - but that doesn't mean I don't love him! My gift will
be directly for him (well, and Liz). I'll be to your home sometime next week -
probably Tuesday the 5th - so start making a list of what you'd like done. Love
- Bruce

I love you Rick - love, Grandma
My service person was my Ricky-ticky, aka my oldest
grandson, aka Rick. I have had a year devoted to serving at the Ensign Ranch in
central Washington. During this special year of my growing thru service I can
honestly say that my Rick has been in my thoughts and prayers every day. Early in the year I started thinking about
his year of getting older, growing in his own ways and even graduating from
high school. This meant I was engaged in
planning, designing and making his traditional T-shirt quilt for about two
months. My next sewing project was to make myself aprons to wear as the cooks
uniform on my mission from left over scraps of fabric. (Please note how cute
they were before I started using them and washing them.)
Now you may wonder how the subject of my aprons can be
meaningful for Rick. Well, for me it is - and that's what matters. Rick ended
up graduating and receiving many scholarship offers in his chosen field of
theatrical arts. One of his areas of
expertise is costume design. So,
to show my support of him and his talents, I decided to contribute some
meaningful items to him starting his own costume collection. So please see the picture of the aprons now.
They have served the purpose of their creation and are being donated to start
the collection. These aprons would be "perfect" for the orphans
should he be involved in a production of Annie. He sent his letter sweater to
be cut up and put in his quilt - but I just couldn't do it. It's being returned
for the collection to use in a future production of Bye Bye Birdie.
I love you Rick - Grandma
