Donations and Pink and White Ripple Baby blanket

While visiting our 20 year old grandson Erick in the hospital today, we donated 57 baby blankets, cuddle sacks and hats. Erick got to go down to the nursery with us when we made the donation to the nurses. I think it was great for him to see where some of our donations go.
Then I finished up this pink and white ripple blanket this afternoon.
