I walked into Lowe's last night . ..

to return a few items and the customer service reps were talking politics.  There's a phrase used in the South, "hepped up."  Not sure where the slang originated, but it perfectly describes the mood around here lately.  Loosely, it interprets as being extra excited or incensed about.

What would happen if instead of turning on the TV, parents took their kids to a ball game or the park.

What would happen if everyone in the nation turned off their phones and facebook and took the dog for a walk.  (If you don't have a dog you can borrow Dolly.)

What would happen if we as a nation simply shut down all of this instant, and I must say often negative information, and let it go for a bit.

Thanks / giving is coming.  So I vote for giving and thanking.

How about you?

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Amen sister.

May I suggest you hop on over to read Susan Branch's blog today.  She's one very wise, insightful lady.  

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Information on fires in Western NC

Several friends have been asking about the nearby fires.  Here is one site which updates their information regularly.

The smoke was so bad yesterday, we could not go outside until late afternoon.

Please pray for rain.

The Land of the Free Because of the Brave

Thank you Veterans for the freedom to make choices every single day.

Where we worship, where we travel to, what we wear, and what we say . .  are just a few of the things we enjoy doing, all because of you.

So from the bottom of our hearts, Thank You.

Wordless Wednesday

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
