~Mary's Craft Day~

I wanted to have my mother-in-law,
 Mary, make a craft today. 
We bought some pink yarn and 
made a pattern out of cardboard for the pom-poms.
She'll be 88 this year in July.
I knew this would be good exercise for her hands,
 since she has arthritis.
She was so proud of herself after she made them.
Loved seeing her smile.

    Great job, Ms. Mary! And, sister, you don't even look like you're in your 70s, much less your 80s! See, crafting DOES make us younger! -- Jan

    Great job Mary!! Love Mary's smile. She looks great; those pom poms look like they could be used on her granddoggie Maggie's spring collar! Looks like you two had some fun. :)
