For Thanksgiving we’ve been getting together with our neighbors, whose kids are also busy or scattered around the nation. We each bring a dish to pass and the host makes the turkey. We sit and enjoy each others company, watch our Detroit Lions, and then play a card game. This helps us not miss our families as much as we would have. Your videos are such a joy!
Mt Raineer park is so inspiring to see.
Thanks for showing the VA Great Falls area. I am from that area and have not been for over there for over 30 years. The Falls is really low of water. I can remember going after a storm when I was a teenager and the sound was so loud you could not hear someone talking to you. Thanks for the patterns.
I am looking forward to your Block Wed.vbi really enjoy your sew alongs.
Love all aspects of stitching
thank you for joining me Vivian! Yes the list of categories is long. I only mentioned a few of them.
Am so looking forward to this and for once I am prepared to sew along *while* it’s going on! In addition to the parks, battlegrounds and historic sites you mentioned, the National Park Service also oversees National Scenic Parkways and Byways such as (my favorite) the Blue Ridge Parkway and (your favorite) Route 66. There is so much to learn on the NPS website!
