Ashley called me last night stating she had received a package from my Grandma Underwood, who was mentioned in earlier blogs. She said it contained a blue blanket which my Grandma hand makes. She has made these blankets ever since I was little I specifically remember a black, white and red one in my house growing up! The whole family used it. Then as we branched out she made us our own. Last year I bugged her about wanting another one cause I am great at losing things and I had lost hers in the 50 times I had moved! Surprise she made me one that perfectly matched by house. I love the way they smell. They must lay on her lap the entire time she is making them so they smell like her and well she smells like soap. Like bar soap from the shower...it might be weird to you all but I love it.
anyway onto the blanket for bubba, I had NO IDEA she had been making him one, let alone child size! I got it this morning from Ashley and I honestly thought Bubba would careless being he is into cars and trucks not handmade woven blanky's...Boy was I wrong! I have to address the issue here because he has had a fleece blanket in his bed for some time now and he gets mad whenever I cover him up he say "no cover me, I not like banky"
This blanket is much different, he held it on his lap in the car, threw it in his bad when he got home and then...wait for it......he wanted the blanky on him. Are you kidding me, its scratchy, you wouldn't think he would like it. Now, here's where my heart melted. I kept telling him Great-Grandma made it and then I showed him pictures of him and her on my blog and then as he lays down grinning from ear to ear(as you can see), he says "bubba banky, its great gammas?" and I said yes bubba she loves you so much...
Tears are just rolling for she is the grandma that kept us spoiled rotten all our lives and these simple little things like an blanket just means the world to me and I imagine bubba feels the same. Thank you Grandma Underwood, Thank you
