tomatoes and sewing
Ma;
I had to do some hand sewing on the draft dodgers and discovered my straight pins were getting low and the yellow container in your room had four, count them, four pins.
Jackie told me where more pins were and it reminded me that I needed a pin cushion. Putting pins in chair cushions or in clothes that I'm wearing can be disastrous if I forget the pins are there.
When we were in Michael's we saw one that straps around the wrist - they wanted $8 for it. WTH? Then I spotted a familiar sight.
A tomato.
A Styrofoam ball with red and green material around it made to look like a tomato. How many generations of people (especially girls) have used that familiar tomato? How many pins have gone into those things over the decades?
Made me think of you and Grandma.
