I couldn't post yesterday because it's too fresh. We put my father to rest yesterday. We had the full military honors for him. We even had the motorcycle group come and escort dad to the services. It was a tear-jurker. Mom received his flag, cartridges, and a plaque from the motor guards. It was short and sweet. We even stopped to see where he would be buried.
After all that, we had everyone over to our house. A few were late. But that was all because of traffic on the way back. It took 2 1/2 hours to get home. When it took us 1 hour and 40 minutes to get there. Not a lot of fun coming back, but we made it.
Today I was up and worked on my photos off my phone. I loaded all the pictures and then deleted them off my phone. Now I have plenty of room on my phone.
Around 2 pm we went to moms. Only my brother and his wife were there when we arrived. We chatted awhile before mom and the others started coming in. We had a fish BBQ, which my younger brother did an awesome job.
Found out my nephew taped the services "live" on Facebook. So, I got the link for that to share with Phil. I'll share it here too. Dad's Military Service.
I haven't had time to work an any of my crafts, but I do know I really need to because the "negative" part of me is coming out. I want to be back to being Happy Quilting/Happy Stitching!
This is a blog that shows my quilting, Brazilian embroidery, cross stitch, beading and more. It's a daily blog that shows how busy I can be with too many projects and how lazy I can get at times. Even boring at times. It was originally for my children who where miles away. Now, it's just a blog.
