I'm not at all fond of crowds and gridlock, so I know what my choice would be, but it should be a fun, exciting time just the same. <br /><br />Your daughter's turtle quilt is fabulous. I love how you "organized" the turtles to swim in formation.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words on my blog. My husband's family has some very long-lived people in it, sadly both his parents had/have dementia so I'm praying he takes after his lovely 100 year old, sharp as a whip, Grandma.<br /><br />Take care,<br />Susan in TexasSusan In Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09165885066527557584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5921898318720308830.post-14120483181352848712012-06-01T23:46:42.969+01:002012-06-01T23:46:42.969+01:00Cute quilt.
