I took a few pics to share, but you know they were all shaky and blurry. So I brought it into work and Rachael took some for me.
As one might guess, a Navy girl who lives 800 feet from the Atlantic Ocean likes a beach theme.
Rachael was so impressed with this that she made sure to take a pic of the border so people who are crafty could appreciate Grace's mad skills.
When I saw what she had embroidered on the back - "
I love you once, I love you twice, I love you more than Coke & ice" I got the tiniest bit
verklempt. When Tommy was a baby I read or heard a rhyme somewhere "
I love you once, I love you twice, I love you more than beans & rice". I thought that was ridiculous! What don't I love more than beans and rice? It must have been some southern thing, lol. Anyway, I changed it to something more meaningful. Now Coke & ice..........there's something to love. Picture a perfect summer day relaxing in the yard with a nice glass of Coke & ice.....mmmmmm.
So you would know you were important if I loved you more than that! I said it to both my babies, all of Grace's babies and Frankie's babies too.
Thank you Gracie. it's perfect.
