Crocus flowers and molas

Mola fish finished except for the whipping

I finished off the mola fish pattern . I must say that I love the colours and the great textured wool that I bought from Nola in Lenexa,Kansas. It kind of matches my crocus flowers. I walked again today at Racoon Valley and survived the Greys Lake  to Principal Park walk downtown. It took over 2 hours and walked the legs off myself ....It is a beautiful Day here ,maybe the capris can come out. I guess I should get working on something new. I do need to go shopping for Easter gifts for my grandsons.I may have to buy another Puppet . Noah seems to love them. I will pull the garden furniture out and then maybe I can sit out in the sunshine.YA!!!!I love spring.........

Grandfather Halleran

Grandmother Halleran.

Okay, I am up early and will get out for my walk after tea. I was unable to find the picture of my father.I did happen upon my grandmothers' picture and I have a mat that I hooked of her so I can post that. Mom always told me that my Grandmother Halleran was a happy person who danced around the kitchen all the time.I guess she was a joyful person. I don't remember her since she passed on when I was an infant. Mom had told me Grandmother would keep beautiful gardens. I remember her home.I would visit my cousins in the summers. It was where I went for summer holidays . I have memories of Grandfather and going to the shop with my cousin to buy his tobacco. He was bedridden and we would go up and sit with him. He would give us a little money for candy whenever we headed out to the shop to buy his tobacco.I remember all the sheep wandering around and the fields with the horses. I haven't seen my cousin for a long time but maybe we will get together this summer. Great memories. I still manage to go out to visit n the summer..........
