DICTIONARY and a VINTAGE PATTERN

I have always had a slight fascination with words. I love big words. My latest favorite word is "hackneyed". I love to say it and use it. The dictionary is one of my favorite books.

Today it warmed my heart to watch my daughter thumbing through the dictionary. She has been carrying it around with her all week. She has been asking, "What is this word? What does it mean?" Then she tries to put the new word into a sentence. I smile like I am the proudest mom in the world.

Dearest Emily,

I found this pattern for you. It was made in 1976. Isn't it perfect? We will work on it for little baby Audrey when I come to visit next time. She will be so beautiful. I can't wait.

Love,

Your favorite Sister
