It’s Mama Trudy Time

Mama Trudy walks about twenty minutes almost every day.  This picture is her going to get her mail from the mailbox.100_4395

How do you like those sunshades?  Her slip is not showing; that’s crocheted lace sewn to the hem of her skirt.  I heart my mama!!!100_4399

She is so stinkin’ cute in her shades and ball cap!  And she’s funny, too.  Said she wears these “wrap-around” sunglasses to keep barking dogs away… she said, “They’re scared of me with these glasses on.”   I can understand that.  I’m laughing.  100_4400

Being tall people, we chose this cracker box so the top of our heads wouldn’t hit the headliner, but we didn’t consider the lack of padding in the seat! 100_4396

We are very thankful for the 30mpg gas mileage, but a twelve hour day in this cute little box was not a wise idea.  We will take more time going back to the Q, that’s for sure. 100_4397

My mama has always had a “green thumb” whether it was flowers, vegetables or trees.100_4404 100_4401 100_4402 100_4403

Mama is stilling piecing quilt tops together.  She loves to create.  Presently, she is working on a border for this one.  Isn’t this design pretty?Mama made this one for Ashleigh Grace

Here are just a few of her quilted pieces. 100_4405 100_4406I love this “window pane” quilt. 100_4407

There are a couple of quilt tops that are coming home with me. 

Don sat on the front porch this evening and watched a storm roll across the mountains.  Mama’s weather radio said this “severe” storm was moving 55 miles per hour!  This first picture was taken at 5:19 PM.Storm came rolling across Trenton, GA at 55 mph.  100_4413 - Copy 100_4413 100_4414There were no tornadoes reported, but straight line winds of 40 MPH. 100_4415 100_4416 100_4417 100_4418 100_4419 100_4420

This picture of the storm front already past was taken at 5:25 PM.  That’s just six minutes!  Those clouds were moving fast! 100_4421

And then the blowing rain started.  100_4423

You can really see the tree limbs being blown and the rain blowing in this picture.  100_4425

Tonight, Mama made her famous cornbread patties to go with the five-bean-soup she had mad.Mama's cornbread patties... yummmmm 100_4426

It’s so good to be here with Mama Trudy. 

Thank you, Jesus.
