Grandma Lucy

The picture of the rooster was made by my Grandma Lucy. It is a type of Japanese embroidery called Bunka . She created several of these pictures over the years. When I look at the pictures she made or the afghan she crocheted for me, I am reminded of our early morning talks. I have always been a light sleeper, so when I would hear her get up in the early morning hours I would tip-toe in to join her in the kitchen. She would make me a mug of warm milk and we would talk together quietly while the rest of the house slept. This is one of my favorite memories from childhood. I still enjoy a mug of warm milk, but now I like to add a little vanilla and some honey. Simply yummy!
