After many years of the red-themed gift exchange, and my poor sister typing "red blanket" as her computer password on a daily basis...my husband asked me to marry him.It was a sweet and romantic proposal, and both families could not have been happier.
My sister, as a special engagement gift, and a testimony of her love to her new brother-in-law, returned the red blanket to him.
It was not quite the same relief experienced by hostages released after many years of imprisonment, but I will have to say that it was a very sweet reunion.
Ok, so in other news, I just got my embroidery pattern "Quilting Bee" from Hilary at Wee Wonderfuls. No idea when I'll whip this up, but it's adorable, and so quilty!!
Great story! I was hoping for a happy ending and it turned out to be sweet also.
ReplyDeleteI sit with this red blanket on the back of my computer chair at home every day, so that no one thinks it goes unappreciated.
ReplyDeleteAnd to top it all off, I got a little sister out of the bargain!
sweet story - but what does he give her for gifts now though? (was a handy theme!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story!
ReplyDeleteGreat ending! :)
ReplyDeleteLove a happy ending and I love those quilting girls.
ReplyDeleteHow bad is it that Maria (of Pinwheels) knows me by sight?
