The Blanket

What's so special about this ratty old blanket?

I don't know, but it is way OLD and way RATTY!

If you look closely in the picture above....you can see that all the batting is separated and not where it's supposed to be.

And it looks like this in MANY places!




This blanket was a gift at a baby shower that was given for my mom....for ME!
So it is 37 1/2 years old.

I used this blanket as a kid, but it wasn't until I was a teenager that I started sleeping with it every night. Yes, I wrote that correctly, I slept with a blanket as teenager....and then when I got married....it was still with me! (Sad, I know!)

I even brought it to the hospital with me when I delivered Maggie!
(Warning....the next picture is totally hideous...please remember that I had a very difficult labor/delivery with this child. And please don't judge me...it's really bad!) But there, with me, is the old ratty blanket. Not looking too bad at that point!

(I totally can't believe I just posted this picture!)

But then she took it over and for the past 7 years, the blanket has become hers!

And I wouldn't want it any other way!
