I have really enjoyed reading the memories of our grandparents. I have one of Grandma Bowling.  She used to sew and when she was finished, she would send in the Rit labels from the lace and rickrack. They would send boxes of material in a wonderful array of colors and sizes. She taught us to make doll clothes on the old pedal sewing machine. I (being unco-ordinated) never got the machine into any kind of rhythm. Thank goodness for electric machines.  Mom now has that sewing machine that Great Grandma Johnson and Grandma Bowling used for so many years. It has worn spots on the cabinet where they rested their elbows. This is what MasterCard would call “priceless”.
