veteran's day

ticking away . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

Time, that is. It's just been so busy!

Last Thursday I headed to Nashville (or thereabouts) for a two-day women's leadership forum.

It was terrific, but they'd condensed it from a three-day event, without cutting anything. So it was two 12-hour days of conference in 36 hours ... and bookended by a 2.5 hour drive! I think I'm finally able to actually *think* about some of the things I heard.

Also, I came home to a finish . . .

Our screened porch! Todd even got the carpet laid. I'm so thrilled! They really did a great job ...

swap happy . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

It's said that it's better to give than to receive, and believe me, I'm all about that. But if you've ever been in a swap with Janet of Rogue Quilter fame, you know it's awesome to receive, too! Janet and I did a little swap between our birthdays (mine is early in October and hers is later in November). I stitched up a mug rug for her and she stitched up one of her marvelous pin cushions for me. We both stayed in our comfort zones!

Along with this beautiful pin cushion (which reminds me ...

It was very humbling to have FOUR World War II Veterans join us and this quilt sums up what many of us were thinking. Home of Free The quilt below was presented to a Vietnam Veteran who was a Prisoner of War (POW) for over two ...

Thank You, RicDaddy. Happy Veteran’s Day. from A Graceful Exit

It’s Veteran’s Day. Flags are flying and the words, “Thank you for your service” can be heard all around.

I like Veteran’s Day because it gives me a chance to remember how fortunate I am. You see, I’m the wife of a retired veteran. A rather hot Navy pilot, to be exact. Fortunate doesn’t even begin to cover it, if ya know what I mean. (wink wink)
