when i get to heaven

She wore her faded apron.  I smiled and said, "Hello."  She wrapped her arms around me and I felt the love I've always known. 
 
When I get to heaven I will see my Nana in her faded black floral apron that smells of butter and baking and Thanksgiving dinners.  She will have a smile on her face, standing over the counter, with floured hands, a pot boiling, and cooking up something very tasty, indeed!

My quest is to find 2 aprons.  One for me to use and the other to hang on that hanger that I got at the Brimfield Flea Market.  If you can sew, I would love to purchase two from you!!!

  1. Sorry I am only a wannabe sewer. :( But if you want a "blueberrying" adventure there is a sweet farm on rte 31, in Princeton. Just before you reach Mt Wachusett. There is a little sign on the side of the road. Pick and eat away!
