In Memoriam

We all know Memorial Day is about our troops who have given all they have to keep our Freedoms Free.

While I currently have (and have had in the past) relatives serving in the military
(my son included), The Lord has spared me the heart break of losing any of them to a war. 
I cannot even imagine.  My heart goes out to all the moms, dads, sisters, brothers, cousins and people who love "Our Fallen Heroes."

Of course, Memorial Day weekend is ALSO the unofficial start of summer (the airlines know this....have you checked those fares lately?)  And, a nice three-day weekend to do.....whatever....

I spent the weekend mostly at home; a little cleaning....some gardening... some sitting-on-the-patio -sipping-an-adult-beverage-enjoying-the-fireflies.... and, of course, some quilting.  

The creation of a Memorial Wall Quilt to the Quilting Auntie, Nyla is well under way.

Using all the Row-by-Row license plates we collected over the years, and the idea I saw on Pinterest, this is what I have so far.
