Wish #66

This is another of those wishes that is so perfect and goes straight to your heart. (aren't they all!)

This squish is from Mr. David Pugh, the Dad of my best friend Carol (see Wish 65 and the most adorable Baby Kelly) The Pugh/Odee/O'Hearn clan really outdid themselves - and I know that Ty will grow to love you all as much as we do.

Mr. Pugh sent the most beautiful purple batiked fabric with subtle floral designs. The color is so rich and so very appropriate. We lost Carol's Mom, Diane, a few short months after my Dad passed away in 2005. It was a heart-wrenching year...but made easier (if you can call it that) by these friendships. Well, Mrs. Diane's most very favorite color was of course...purple. And one of her favorite spots in her hometown of Janesville, WI was Rotary Gardens. We visited there and it is just a wonderful, happy place filled with one gardening delight after another.

So Mr. David sent this purple fabric and a photo of Rotary Gardens with the simple, yet profound, words of Mr. Spock from the original Star Trek episodes:

"Live Long and Prosper"

I adore this wish. I couldn't hope for more for our son and I am glad that Ty's quilt will symbolically include both of the Pughs.

Thank you!
