I'm sorry MrsG but this brought a tear to my eye ad a great big smile,,ring them bells ring them loud and often,,i lost my mother when i was 13 --over 30 years ago and i still do the same thing ---ring them BELLSyeah I know.. I made a blanket for all of my kids, I started one for "peanut" and then my daughter calls and asks me where do I get the kit and how long does it take... so "peanut" is getting 2. Starting it for my grandkids now too.
and sentimental...
"teacher says every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings"
I've been ringing a lot of them this year to make sure my mom gets hers... damn I miss her.
