The Bed of One Hundred Quilts...


Once upon a time, Nana Ana went to visit Davey Wavey, he's the sweet boy who lives down the lane. Excited and all aglow, he jumped up and down and exclaimed: "You can sleep in my bed!" The room was so nice and inviting. She sat on the bed and wondered why it was so very soft. That night, the mystery was solved: there must have been 100 quilts on the bed! Nana Ana asked, "Where did you get all these quilts?". Well, needless to say, hours later, Davey Wavey was still telling her about each one, as she yawned, politely listening. First, there was his 'Bucky-quilt', this one was very special, in that it had cute embroided animals on each denim panel. Second, was 'Nana's crochet-christmas blankie' that was acquired one cold winter night. Third, (and he made sure she understood) was his 'hospital-quilt', it was very precious to him, as it held many answered prayers. Nana Ana was amazed at how each quilt held wonderful memories for him. One by one, he spread them on his bed, as Nana Ana looked on, to see many multi-colored and textured designs. At last, Mickey Mouse topped them all. Nana Ana finally got to sleep, but not for long. It seems that Davey Wavey missed his bed of one hundred quilts and crept back in at dawn. Before she knew it, the sun rose and a new day started for both of them. Oh no! Now they had to shake the quilts, and, sure enough, he'd start telling her the story of how he got each one. Shh, let's cuddle up and not stir that sweet imagination. From Our 'Sleepy' Front Porch to yours...Nana Ana & Papi.
