TBT :: Red Gingham Christmas


Remembering 
with great fondness 
how Moma used to make us 
matching Christmas 
dresses and shirts.

I don't remember helping to sew these 
but I might have. . 

I do remember 
standing at the fabric cutting tables 
in TG&Y 
as the salesman was helping Moma 
figure out how much fabric to buy 
for our long, dark green dresses. 

I was so impressed that 
he was offering her a deal 
because she was buying so much fabric.

She was very beautiful and talented.

I was so very proud to be her daughter
and I still am.

Miss her, too.
