Memorial Day Weekend
Today was Memorial Day. It is the day we honor those who have lost their lives in service of protecting our country. I am grateful to all our service men and women. Freedom is certainly not free.
This was the fastest three day weekend on record! Both of our adult children are home and we are enjoying their visit. We have been eating at home a lot because they both like to cook. Woo hoo for us! Our daughter, Stacy, has been trying out new recipes and we have been her guinea pigs. Everything has been good so far. Greg made a two layer chocolate cake that looked too pretty to cut. We did cut it and it was delicious. Thank goodness for Stacy’s determination that we go for our daily walk. We need to work off all the extra calories.
Lynn and Stacy went to the Indy 500 race yesterday and enjoyed their spot in the stands. Three wrecks happened right in front of them. They also have a good view of the cars when they go into the pit so that makes watching the race extra fun.
I made two laptop bags, which you can see on my sewing blog at Winding Threads, for a customer and finished putting hanging sleeves on the quilts I am entering in a show in two weeks. It is good to have those projects finished.
My hands are a mess from weeding. I wish I could stand to wear gloves. My cuticles would appreciate the protection. Oh well.
