"Neighbors bring food with death and flowers with sickness and little things in between. Boo was our neighbor. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a pair of good-luck pennies, and our lives. But neighbors give in return. We never put back into the tree what we took out of it: we had given him nothing, and it made me sad." - Scout in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird

7th grade home ec
So, my mom came down to sew aprons on Saturday. She told me that she went through her cedar chest because she thought she had saved an apron that she had made in 7th grade. She pulled this cute little pink gingham apron out of her bag. Guess what? it is the very same apron pattern that I got from ebay a few weeks ago. So, we spend the afternoon teaching mom how to make the same apron that she had made a few decades ago. It went well. Kind of.
I don't know if mom knows that she left it at my house, but I'm going to keep it for the Kelli apron museum.
