Room 10: Hallway and Bedroom

This is taken while standing in Mom's Sitting Room. It is the west wall of a tiny hallway which leads into her bedroom. Janet insisted on having all three of these pictures hung. L to R: Me, Bruce, and Bradley - all wearing the same blue suit. Mom loves these pics. They were hung in the Wooten den, near the back door.

Still in the sitting room. The Bear is on the east wall of the hallway. In about 1970, Mom bought prints of all the SWC mascots, and carefully varnished each onto a wooden plaque type of board. They have always look fabulous - although, either Bruce or Bradley once ice-picked the eyes out of several mascots. Mom fixed it, somehow.

Standing just inside the bedroom, looking at the east wall, we see Courtney and Jake dancing at Bradley and Kris' wedding; Nancy(of Nancy and Todd) hidden by a Precious Moment; the beautiful Patti Post (Gurvis' and JoAnn's daughter) at 4 years; Atchafalaya and Hoss in front of the Hibiscus. A drawing of Apaloosa colts is glared out.

Shifting right, we see Doug Melton's amazing handiwork: a hand-stitched rug. I don't know the official name for this type of creation, but I know it looks great above Mom's bed.

The south wall. These bluebonnet scenes hung on the den wall at Wooten - just as you came into the den from the kitchen. Patsy's plaque hangs by the door - decorated with, appropriately, blue flowers. It says:
I smile because you are my sister.
I laugh because there is nothing you can do about it!
The door leads into a hallway, which leads to the Greatroom of Hilltop House.

The west wall. Janice and Ray Storey's tapestry is sandwiched between the picture and the bathroom door. It hangs four feet beyond the foot of Mom's bed. The tapestry has traveled with Mom: from hospital room, to hospital room, to rehab room - fourteen rooms in all. This is the text above the angel:
For He will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
Psalms 91:11
