I Have HuFamily History!! Who Knew?!

Well who the heck knew??? I certainly did not!!

My Mom has a Family Bit of History…under which I play efurry night!!!  Woo Hoo!!

…so I am just relaxin’ under this quilt thingy  ALLLLL the TIME…notice how comfy I am??…..

…then Mom tells me ” Savvy (they call me that as an affectionate name…purrr)..you do know that right above you is the name of my Great Aunt Mamie Pinson???? (ya, right, I totally got that when I don’t even know my own feline mom???)…

…then Mom makes me focus…and what do ya know…there is her Great Auntie’s Name…and then I ask…”why is her name up there?”  Mom says…”Savvy, that is my Grandmother’s ‘Furriendship Quilt’…made by all her furriends, well, really ‘hufriends’…back in the 1920s…and Mamie is my Grandmother’s sister-in-law…now I am confused…but whatever…

…”and here is my Great Grandmother’s Name…she was my Grandmother’s husband’s Mom”…(now I am totally confused??!!)…but I can tell this is important to Mom …and even, maybe to me???…

…then I ask about the weird lookin’ stuffed bear…and the red and blue quilt above him…and Mom says…”well, Banana Cakes (OMC! she does call me that!)…”first the quilt was made by my Great Grandmother Rodgers…about 1890…and the Teddy Bear is the first toy anyone gave my Mom and Dad before I was born…he is actually 4 days older than me!! (errr, ummm how old is that Mom???…just askin’…probably older than dirt…umm…older than electricity…umm…I give up)…

…then Mom spreads another quilt on our bed to show me, the one in between the huFriend Quilt and the older than dirt really old quilt…and she tells me this is called a “Great Star of Texas” quilt pattern…(probably just a big star)…but my Mom’s Grandmother made it…in about 1965.  So I’m thinkin’…”big deal”…not very old…

…then Mom tells me that her Grandmother made this quilt outta left over material my huMom’s mother used to make Mom’s dolls’ clothes…long story short…this is a TOTALLY important quilt to my MOM!  NOW I GET IT!!!  I HAVE HUFAMILY HISTORY!!!

…pretty colors, huh??!!

So this is how I learned I have huFamily History…even some on my huDad’s side…but I play, rest and nap under my Mom’s HuFamily History most efurryday…we take pictures of me there…and I wanted ya to know the story…
