Pass on the palm cross making tradition to Emily

     As long as I can remember I've been making those little palm crosses each day on Palm Sunday.  I would make one for my Mom and for the house.  The last few years found me making them for my children.  It is tradition to start with a fresh piece of palm and leave the church with my little assortment of crosses to be passed along to those I love.  Today, Emily watched and made two of her very own.  She gave one to me and one to her brother.   Though it was a strange feeling to know we wouldn't be bringing home some palm for my mother I'm sure she is proud to know the tradition has been passed along yet again.
