Day 88
Mom---Sewing
matching
Christmas and
Easter dresses
Candy-girl! My
Candy-girl!
Beauty!
Intelligence! Personality! Talent! Compassion! Love! In a word: Perfection!
I
often tell the story of my inattention. For twenty years I bragged on Lady
Candice Leah for her “saint”-like persona; then, one day-of-enlightenment,
reality struck me: She is an “angel”!
Candy
sewed the girls matching “holiday” dresses, a new design for each occasion.
This
“side”-issue she deftly managed while teaching full time, taking care of two
little girls (and, an irreverent little boy), ran an immaculate household, taught
Sunday School and managed to work side-by-side with me doing all sorts of
chores on the farm. And, Brother! We
played, too. Horseback riding, vacations, swimming, day trips---and…constant Event-Adventure Fun!
Lady
Candice, the seamstress, made heads turn when the girls arrived at functions
decked out in their latest “celebration” hand-made finery. Beautiful, like
their mother, they make us proud.
Ah! Cookie Jar “talent-celebration” Sweet
Memories!
Amen! Indeed!
