September 7

I went to Michaels this morning looking for a specific brand of green yarn so I'd have enough to finish a Christmas-themed blanket that I started last week for my family. (It's big. Quite big.) They didn't have the right shade, but they did have several skeins of turquoise. And though I hadn't thought about it for years, it then occurred to me that turquoise was always one of my grandma's favorite colors.

And since this is our year to go back east for Christmas and we typically stay with her when we do and it's always hard to know what to give her, I bought it. And then I got to work on a little lap blanket. 

So today I'm grateful to have had the sudden recollection that turquoise is her favorite.
