Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:My dad had a ratty old gray sweater with a cigarette hole in the arm. He would not get rid of it, and he wouldnt let me sew it either. He said it suited him the way it was.

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Lorrie – I do still have his ratty flannel shirt. Maybe this winter it’ll go in the fire. Sort of ceremoniously.
