My Granny’s Bed. After she passed away and the family was cleaning out, we took a lot of her furniture and furnished a little hunting cabin we had. It was perfect and I think Granny would have been happy knowing we had it and treasured her things. Our little hunting cabin was just a shack. But we made it the neatest place. We made it a home away from home. We called it the “Sparta Hilton.” Sweet memories.
Now, Grannys bed is here at the lake. We still treasure it. She made a lot of quilts on this bed. This is where she would lay them out and measure and put the 3 layers together. She only used 3 pins max to put the backing, the quilt and the batting together. It was amazing. The quilt on the bottom of the bed is one she made. It’s priceless to us. I’ve got to get pillows for the bed. It’s on my list. (Smile)
Granny always had a routine. She made her bed. She fixed a little breakfast. She read her Bible & prayed And then she quilted most the day. She stopped for lunch. She had 1 tv preacher she watched on tv. That’s the only time I know the tv came on. And then she would put all her stuff away around 4 and ate supper and went to bed at dark. One day a week she did laundry. Sundays she went to church. But. She always started with making her bed. And she was content.
Contentment. A state of happiness and satisfaction. It means something. You might have looked at Granny and seen poor. But she was richer than many that have lots of things and money. Be like Granny.
“For after all, the best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain.”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Something to ponder.
