SOCK MONKEY

I love the..... commercial who has Gumbie, The Sock Monkey etc. The sock monkey costume really impresses me......guess it doesn't take much lol

We were going thru our grandmothers house a few weeks back and as we looked thru the boxes I became so excited! I actually ''YELLED'' Sock Monkey. It was too funny they didn't know if I was crazy or just converting back to my childhood!

It did bring back a flood of memories. Memories of innocence,of spending time with my grandmother crocheting,quilting,making sock monkeys even pet rocks.....now that's a whole other story on the pet rock thing .

But, the one that I hold dear was the original brown and white one! We would crochet ,quilt them and just sew them up from scrap! I miss those days and God do I miss her! She taught me so much of the 'simple'' life! You know just doing stuff at home, being creative, using what you had on hand and this took creativity etc.

She also was a well known Artist. Her work is all over- from E TX to Holly Wood And beyond! I just feel the need to say ,''THANK YOU GRANDMOTHER AND I WISHED ID LISTENED BETTER..........YOU ARE ONE OF MY HERO'S AND ANGELS, LOVE YOU!
