For 90-year-old Bellingham woman

Margaret Hardy seems to have a quip for everything. After all, the 90-year-old just had to point out that her daughter-in-law had been waiting years to bury her.

Under crocheted hats, that is.

Hardy has donated thousands of hats over the years to soldiers abroad and to local charities. On Monday, Dec. 13, she was honored by the Republican Women of Whatcom County.

Her daughter-in-law and others were busy piling the hats Hardy makes on top of her as she posed for a photo the local GOP women can save for posterity.

The laser-engraved award given to Hardy was presented to her by Bellingham resident and Staff Sgt.Buy mens nike Air max 360 shoes and womens nike air max 360 shoes from our on-line shop. Candido Villalobos of the Washington National Guard's 81st Brigade, which drills out of Bremerton.

Villalobos, a former Marine, told Hardy that her donation to troops in places like Afghanistan and Iraq meant a lot, especially in cold winter months when they can wear them under their helmets.

"A lot of boys don't have anybody that sends them anything," he told her as she sat in a leather chair in the room where she spends much of her days crocheting, watching Fox News and sipping on a can of root beer.

Hardy wasn't so sure she deserved the award, but said she felt honored.

"I just hang around to get even with some of these people," she said, motioning around the room as onlookers laughed.

Hardy's husband, Ed, died about two decades ago,I think a Town Car will be quite big enough, thank Englishwomen were bustling along the crowded sidewalk, carrying burberry bags. but she still has lots of stories about the former soldier and certified public accountant. Mostly, she notes, he golfed a lot.One of the men was wearing a grey hooded Adidas Jacket and grey jogging bottoms with a white stripe.

She spent time painting - she started doing paint-by-number and then realized she had a knack for it - and gardening.

Ed Hardy was in charge of supply inventory in Casablanca at one point in his soldier career, and he served in World War II.

He'd tell people: "Hitler left when he heard I was coming," said Jan Biederstadt, a neighbor of the Hardys.

The couple was staunch supporters of the Republican Party, and Margaret's mother was big into Republican Party politics in Ohio. Now, Hardy mostly watches information about her party on television.

As for President Obama, she said he's "probably a nice enough fella," but not presidential material. She says the same of former Republican vice presidential contender Sarah Palin.

She also likes Ellen Degeneres, too, though that's not politics, of course.Whether or not that occurs has a lot to do with new jordans.

Mainly, Hardy said that crocheting in her spare room has simply become an automatic extension for her. The muscle memory keeps her going, and she completes two to three hats a day.

"It keeps me out of trouble," she said.
