Wowie Warm

originally posted: 9/10/01

Brought to you by my late Grandma Clar. In the Husband family, a handmade afghan is called a wowie, because when Grandma would tuck one around any of her children (including my Dad), she'd say, "Wow-wee, that's warm!" She crocheted many wowies for her children and grandchildren, and I put the red one she made me on my bed every winter. This is how I remember my Granny, whose funeral is today: sharing her warmth and grace and a few well-chosen words.
