Happy Birthday, Grammy
My dear Grammy Piper, so special to me, though I didn't get enough time with you. A wonderful seamstress, craftswoman, gardener and cook. If I had a genie to grant me some wishes, I would ask to spend time now with both of my grandmothers in their prime. Tell me your stories, teach me some of your skills and arts.

I SO get that wish of yours!
Hey, yet another 'Grace'. :^) She's such a lovely young woman and that dress! wow. WOW. Just knocks my socks off when I see dresses like that and know they're handmade. What an accomplishment and yet that's what they did. Amazing.
Happy Birthday, Grammy!
