He is growing up

My little blonde haired, blue eyed boy is growing up. He is taller than me, his voice is changing and I can see a hint of whiskers. He turned 14 on Saturday and on Sunday was ordained to the office of a Teacher. What a great young man. Happy Birthday Josh!

Remember

Today is Veteran's Day. The older I get, the more Veterans I seem to know and the more I understand. My father is a Veteran. He received his draft notice just days before he was to marry my mother. I was born a little over a year later in an Army Hospital in Virginia while my dad was completing his basic training there. He served in Vietnam and doesn't ever talk about it. How thankful I am that he served his country and that he returned home safely. How thankful I am for all those who have served and didn't return home. The sacrifices are great, the rewards given to those who sometimes don't even care about the sacrifices are even greater. Let's remember all those around the world who have sacrificed for us.

A quilting we will go

My friend is fortunate to have one of these wonderful quilting machines and she is helping me reach one of my goals (quilts for Christmas). Thanks Connie!
