What a wonderful celebration! I love the celebration for remembering all the wonderful things we are so lucky to have. Being where I am in my life is such a blessing! We all have ups and downs: me as well. But I truly know how very lucky I am to live in the United States and have a family that pushed education and experiences for us.
And this year it was especially wonderful to have family here. My daughter and her beaux came for the entire weekend. We have been truly delighted to spend time together with them.
I did so much cooking both prior to their arrival as well as when they were here. We had so much fun enjoying time together. We even had several drinks to enjoy throughout the weekend. Plus we went to the Milwaukee Symphony while it accompanied The Muppets Christmas Carol. This Movie is a family tradition usually at Christmas. My daughter had purchased the tickets for us. We wandered around downtown Milwaukee visiting the art hotel named Saint Kate and then this "mall" of restaurants which I can't remember the name of.
So last week was spent getting ready for them, cleaning up the house and cooking.
And because of that little sewing has been done. :(
But I will show you one more block of my new Tilda quilt and the pattern I am using:
I did love Milwaukee when I lived there in the early 70's I always found myself missing it. We drove over a couple times to look around when our daughter lived in Madison but she moved from there about 4 years ago now and we haven't been back since then.
