Memorial Day

We will be celebrating Memorial Day in Romania aging this year. It is different for us when we are home. My husband's VFW group visits 3 to 4 cemeteries in the greater Green Bay area to perform a celebration that honors the Vets and he is the Chaplin for the group. I miss these ceremonies to honor the Vets that have made the ultimate sacrifice so we can remain the free nation that we are. I will still send a prayer of thanksgiving to the fallen and my spirit will be with the VFW as they celebrate without us for another year.

until next time
God Bless you and keep you safe

No, I didn't fall off the face of the earth

I know I haven't posted for quite a while, but I have been busy traveling and the internet connection was not wonderful. I am back in Romania until July and our internet connection is very good here in our flat.

I was wondering if spring would ever get here! It has been so cold in Romania until a few days ago. Now it is hot enough to need the air conditioning on during the afternoon and early evening.

While we were home the last time, I had a wonderful visit with my Mom. She came to visit me in Green Bay with one of my daughters and her husband. I went back to CA with her and got to visit with my other children that live out there.

My learning fiber artist group on Yahoo had a class on how to make a Seminole strip quilt. Our teacher had wonderful instructions and my resulting quilt is below. I think I should have picked different fabric, but I do love the technique that she provided in her lessons.


I am working on a quilt for one of my children, but other than that, I have not done very much sewing, due to all of the traveling that I have been doing. I hope to finish the quilt top I am working on and at least start another one before we leave for home again. I will post a picture of the top as soon as I finish it.

Until next time, May God Bless You
