Sadly, I never had a chance to meet Ed's grandma Gustafson. But from what I hear, she was a really special lady. She had a tradition of making hand-made baby blankets as gifts for anyone who announced they were expecting. Our daughter is lucky enough to be the recipient of her last one. In May of 2000 Grandma Gustafson made a baby blanket in her favorite color--blue--wrapped it up and addressed it to her first great-grandchild. Since our little girl is that great-grandchild, she received the blanket. Mona mailed it to us and we opened it with Jim. It's just so special that she thought to do something like this, and we really cherish the blanket. I'm sure it will be well-loved, but we hope to keep it preserved well enough for the other great-grandchildren to be able to enjoy it too.
