Joey receives "Duck Blankie v5.0"

Grandma Mimi again works her magic to bring Joey's first "blankie" back to life.

V1.0 - Fresh from Aunt Clarice, this was Joey's from birth to about two years of age, by which time it had been ripped.
V2.0 - Repaired the major rip in it, and lasted for about 6 months before wearing through again.
V3.0 - The main part of the rip was removed, and the blanket was reduced in size.
V4.0 - As the blanket was worn threadbare, Jenny suggested using a backing of similar fabric (the original fabric could never be located, I found a non-flannel version of the same print from a lady on the lake shore of MI - of all places). So, a two sided blankie was developed one of the original and the other side of the new fabric.
V5.0 - The previous version only lasted a few months before again ripping. This version is folded in half and sewn together.

Joey's first coment was "I can't open it" as the blanket looks like its folded together.

A very happy four year old and his "blankie" are now reunited.
