Beautiful Mom

 Photo of my Mom, Grayce who is thankfully still with us at 89 years old. Some of my wonderful memories growing up of her were that she stayed up into the night sewing clothes for us.

She had a favorite overstuffed chair that she kept for 'good' and no one really sat in. She also had her favorite pearl necklace that she loaned to my sister and I for special occasions.
