A significant lifetime event occurred this month--the loss of my brother, John Terry Weeks, followed by the celebration of his life in Austin, Texas. He was an influential lawyer who mentored and shared his wisdom and love of life. Being the surviving sibling of this generation is a reminder of how blessed I am to have grown up with this family.

I'm glad earlier this year I sent Terry one of my favorite quilts--made by our grandmother Martha Rosalie Terry Hood Hearn sometime in the 1950s while she was living with our parents. I had used it for many years and knew Terry would enjoy it. When he saw it he immediately identified three of his shirts in the fabrics, from Mother's scrap bag. This photo was taken on the USM campus and appeared in
Quiltfolk magazine Issue 26--Mississippi, p. 11.

Martha, I love the pic. We have a pic of Mo's dad in a goat-drawn cart in Marianne, FL in about 1916. Family . . . What a wonder it is, how we get from where we started to where we are now! I stand in awe. Love you, Martha. You remain one of my all-time heroes :).
Tierney, I'm glad to hear another goat cart story. I think there were lots of those goat carts and they changed the city and year as they traveled about selling pictures. Thanks for kind words--the feeling is mutual. I admire your marketing skills.
