My grandmother made this blanket that this little teddy bear is holding. It is one of my most cherished gifts. She made it for my son when he was a baby (35 years ago)! It was made from pieces of brightly colored material she had collected over the years. My son grew up calling the blanket his "Me Me". He slept with it every night all though childhood and high school even. Of course he didn't think I knew he still slept with it at that age. Little did I know when he moved out (at age 21) he took it with him and still slept with it!! He would put it under his pillow. Of course by this time after 21 years it was in pieces and looked like a rag. The day before he got married he took me out for lunch. He had a a card and gift for me. The card read...Mom this is for you. Love you always, Steve. I opened the gift and there it was...the blanket, or what was left of it. I now have it in a special place with a little teddy bear holding it. I still cry when I remember back to the day he gave me that blanket.
Oh Gosh, that made me cry too. We have a little fellow who loves his bear/blankie and I think he will have it until he is 50! Or perhaps, he will give it to his Mom like your son did.
Most of those are fairly old buildings by West Coast standards, which isn't really very old. I mainly posted them because I took all of those pictures with this camera, and black & white film:
So they're photos of old things taken by another old thing.
