This morning I needed to get moving. The Veterans Memorial Museum was having a Parade at the museum. So, I needed to get to the museum before the traffic arrived. - OR so I thought!
Arrived early - about 10:30 am and enjoyed the time with my group. We were wearing masks today because of all the traffic. We ended up using the room upstairs which helped keep us away from the visitors to the museum.
We were able to give this quilt out to Robert Moore. He looks so young! And yet he's about 45 years old. I thought he was in his early 30's.
Then we did Charles Zandecki. He's one I knew when I first moved to Centralia when I was in my early 20's. We chatted about old times afterwards.
Then we did a father, son. This is the father, Vernon Lund. Owner of the Lund Trucking in Chehalis. Jim was in his uniform because he was in the Parade in between helping us out.
Robert Lund is the son. It was such an honor to give these quilts to the veterans. I had such a good time that when I came home, I didn't want to work on anything. It was 3 pm before I made it home. To honor veterans is what I love doing. It's like giving back to my "family" that I've missed since my father retired. That is a life to live. One learns that everyone is equal and there is no one better than the other. One learns to work with anyone and everyone. I miss that family so much! This is my way of giving back to those I love.
So, it didn't turn out to be a day of stitching. But it was a day to honor our veterans. That always makes me Happy ~~!
