Thanks for your good words Barbara.
I am taking a leap and sharing a tidbit from a fellow quilter who was =
so proud of her finished "block" in the WTC/Pentagon/PA Memorial Quilt. =
The site reads: "America is not like a blanket - One piece of unbroken =
cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more =
like a quilt - many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all =
woven and held together by a common thread".
This reminds me of Switzerland. North, south, east, west, different =
hues, languages--but Katy bar the door when the country is in need or =
disaster strikes. Swiss unite and take charge, and get the job done. =20
As for God's country--thought I was living there! France is good--and I =
had the best darn crepe ever from a "roach coach" on the Normandy coast. =
How about eating pickled herring and sweet pickles for breakfast in =
Norway! Dodge, I'm not quite ready to give out the "blue ribbon" yet.
Sorry about those who aren't interested, but I enjoy all your comments. =
Sometimes even the ornery ones. Joan.
