Blanket

I got a lovely handmade blanket in the mail today.  A friend of the family her mother is 90 years old and still loving life.  My mother turned 60 just a few weeks ago and told everyone to make a donation to a charity rather then giving her things.  Our family friends mother insisted on bringing something but my mother stood firm.  So she made a blanket for the baby.  Its beautiful browns, oranges and greens. It looks perfect in the nursery and will be perfect no matter the gender of our baby.  On days I feel discouraged I'm going to have to pull out that blanket.  Maybe I'll use it in the mean time.
