Forty Years Later—Grandmother's Last Afghan

This green and gold afghan and matching pillow is the last one my grandmother made. I believe she finished it in early 1969 and died in December of that year. I recently found some Polaroids of the family home from the '60s and '70s. This was "my" bedroom whenever I stayed over. I originally had a much smaller room, but when I got be about thirteen I "graduated" to this Red Room. I still have most of the items from my room, but I wish I had the house, the Daniel and Charity Leete house. Polaroid at top dated 1972, the digital image at the bottom is from this morning, and the wallpaper is a shred leftover from that room. I really do keep as much from my past as I can.
