This isn't what I had planned to post for today...in fact, I had something else written about our Skirting the Issue Sewing night...but I keep thinking about something that happened over the weekend and I think maybe I should share that instead.... Last weekend I took my children to a busy place...and I was tired and hungry and just wanted to be back home. But there I needed to wait for awhile.

The Art of Homemaking: Family Traditions, Memorial Day
Family Traditions. I'm big on them. And yesterday we kept one of my favorites. Memorial Day. I know that memorial day means a lot of different things to a lot of different people....and that everyone has their own way of observing it.
