Mother's Day - Birthday - Wedding

Life is full of celebrations...Thank goodness for such events...It is what our "memory banks" were made for...to REMEMBER...God, Family, and Country...

This past weekend, we got to celebrate "3" such events...Wish I could post all "100" pictures...but, the hardest part right now...is deciding WHICH PICTURES to show you...(smile)

WEDDING
We wanted to surprise our dear FLORIDA friends - Tom and Lynn Whitcomb, by attending their son,
Todd's, wedding reception in Layton, Utah.  We did NOT tell them we were coming.
We drove 6 1/2 hours to IDAHO FALLS on Friday - to spend the weekend with several of our children.
Our daughter, Sarah, hosted the Mother's Day weekend event.
Next day, drove another "3" hours to Layton UTAH - OH SO WORTH IT!!! 
(I did not get pictures of Debi Woods, Bill and Max Andrus or Bill's new bride)

I took a picture of your QUILT when I got home...but, need to take another...with me holding it...I looked at it more in detail when I got home...and LOVED how you used "flowered" material....to make the patterns...plus...the flowers all through the "off white" material...

BEAUTIFUL JOB, Angel!!!!

Oh...Sarah and Rebekah...starting wearing my EAR RINGS!!! LOVE THEM!!! They are so ME!!! (smile)

When I made the quilt...I only thought of you....I would look at the material and think if it was you and if I thought so...I made it into a flower. I called the quilt "Flower Patch". I am glad you love it! Just don't look too close...there are some mistakes. :D

I could see that...every square was thought out carefully...I know that with each "stitch"...was made with your HEART...and that makes this "Flower Patch" quilt...EXTRA SPECIAL!!! I LOVE IT!!!
