Guest posting for my Mamma

This is G-Mamma's daughter, Mary Ellen. ( The Mommy to James) Well as with most things in our family, this guest post has a story. I will let G-Mamma tell you all about it when she is back in the digital age. Her computer has gone WONKY after the storms that came through our area. Here are  few pics of our Tornado adventure.

Kids in the Tornado Shelter
 Hail

 She wants you to know that she will be the guest Blogger over on Madame Sam's Sew We Quilt blog. G-Mamma has some Wonky Table Runners to show you plus a NEW GIVEAWAY. Her Ghastlies' Table Runner will be flying out to the home of one of her lovely followers. Winner will be announced Thursday morning March 8th.  You must be a follower to participate in the giveaway, so please tell her in your comment that you are a follower.

I also wanted to take a few minutes to thank those of you that have prayed and wished my son well during his surgeries and rehab. I have read your sweet comments and they truly have touched my heart. We thank you! James is doing wonderfully since we have gotten home from St. Louis and Birmingham. He is so much stronger and seeing the new way he walks is a beautiful sight to this Mamma! James is using his walker to get around 75% of the time. We are working on using some canes but right now we want to get him confident on his walker before we add too much. I took him to a local playground this morning with some friends of ours and it brought me to tears how strong and straight he is walking. He could even stand up and play without his walker! Here are a few pictures from this morning I thought you would enjoy. You are always welcome to follow his progress at our blog Jump in for James



Blessings from G-Mamma through Mary Ellen ( James- Mamma)

    Thanks Mary Ellen for updating for your sweet mama. I sent her an e-mail yesterday but I guess she will eventually get it. I am glad everybody is A o-kay after the terrible storm. So happy to see picture of James he is doing so well. I guess you are so happy to be home with him but it was all so worth it seeing him stand so straight and tall I am sure. Love and blessings to all Sandra
