Emma's shoes and socks!

When I get to  that big quilting frame in heaven, I'll look under the frame for the feet and legs wearing the wild and crazy shoes and sox!  That will be Emma, stitching away and talking a mile a minute!  What a woman!
        The first time I saw that old fashnioned washing machine in her kitchen, I asked her (joking) if she used that.  She replied that she had raised her girls without an automatic washer & dryer in her home!  She said she always took the family wash to the laundrymat each Saturday morning, filled all the washers & dryers, and got a week's washing done in a matter of a coujple of hours!

What is Your Emma Story?

This blog is a chance to remember and honor Emma by bringing us together in a way that can only be done through a medium like the internet. We love her, we will miss her, but she's here for a short time still, and we want to smile and cry and laugh together with her as much as possible while we can.

Emma has touched a monumental number of lives through her work as a mother, grandmother, friend, teacher, artist, and to Ted as a dear wife. There are countless stories that have already been told many times, and there are many others that we're going to learn for the first time as we read them here.

PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS, STORIES AND PICTURES!!!

Not only will we be able to laugh and smile together, even after Emma has passed, but we will be sharing this blog with Emma. If you have a story, long or short, silly or sad, pensive or outrageous, please take some time and share it with us and Emma.

This is such a dear time for all of us. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and prayers.

It's easy! To post to Emma's blog, send an email to emmaallebes.post@blogger.com. If you have a picture(s) that you would like to add, make it an attachment to the email. Your email will post automatically.

Please remember to include your name somewhere in the email/post.
