What a busy week it's been! It was great to see Amanda and watch her play soccer, and get to spend some time with her!! And as always, time spent with family is a time treasured. After many laughs and lots of shopping :), we headed for North Carolina with plenty of stops along the way. I researched local fabric stores and enjoyed seeing how other stores are set up and what they have to offer. Some were really nice, others I probably wouldn't go back to. Tonight we had supper with Michael and tomorrow we are driving into Charlotte for part of the day. Gotta be back in time to watch the Notre Dame game :)
Reports from home tell me things are rolling along and I am excited to get back and start sewing! Articles should soon be appearing in the local papers. Thanks Steve & Ronda! If you have a friend or relative you think may be interested in what we are doing, please send them information.
As I listened to tributes yesterday on the anniversary of 9/11, I was faced with a variety of emotions. Anger again at those who took so many innocent lives, sadness for those left behind, pride in the way our country came together in those days following the attacks. . .thankful to still be living in a place we can call free. Free because of men and women like Travis. . .and even more committed than ever to see this project through. We cannot let our fellow Americans keep serving without some small token of appreciation, some reminder that they are thought of and prayed for. What we are trying to do here is just a drop in the bucket, but maybe it will catch on. If not this idea, then another.
Keep praying for safety and for a sense of peace for those who serve.
I was blessed by an email from one of Travis' High School friends, but that's a story for another day. . .
