I've set up my truck bed into one of my favorite configurations. It starts with clean fitted sheets off my bed followed by what I call the Grannies Blanket Spread. It was her favorite blanket from our Pleasant Hill, CA home during the time her Alzheimer's was setting in, followed by a crocheted blanket she made years earlier.

She had both these blankets on her bed, it's the perfect combination of style and warmth, and I think of her every time I climb back there.

The bed itself is a custom memory foam mattress made and cut to fit my truck. I had it constructed in Idaho Falls, and it was pricey, but worth it.

I also carry heavy duty tools back there capable of breaking into a burning car. I love my little truck bed, it's served me well over the years.

These are Shelby's great-great-grandmothers blankets, and one day they will be hers.
