Labor Day

 

In September 2017, when Mike's parents are still in town visiting, I invited my family members over for a Labor Day celebration. We grilled hotdogs and hamburgers and played crochet in my backyard.

Thanks for taking a look!

911 Memorial Indianapolis

 

In September 2017, Mike went to Indianapolis, IN for work. I tagged along with him. We stayed close by the Canal Walk where we could walk and enjoy the places along the canal. As we were there during the anniversary of 9-11, we got to go to the Memorial for it that day. What a tribute to those who lost their lives. It was great to be able to walk around the downtown area for lunches and dinners and to just explore the many memorials and monuments in the area.

Thanks for stopping by!

Memorial Day 2017

 

In May 2017, Mike and I went to the Ohio Western Reserve Memorial Day Ceremony at the National Cemetery. It was a very moving experience. If you haven't ever been to a Memorial Day service at a military cemetery...go! I promise, you will be moved. There were many veterans as well as active military there... along with just regular people, like us!

Thanks for taking a closer look! 

AND.... THANKS to all who have served/are serving in our military!

Veteran Thanks

Here is my card to thank all the Veterans in my family for serving our great country. I found a card that used the word 'Soldier' with the same message.... I felt that the message can definitely be used for our Veterans too!

Here is the card, from Peggy Marsh, that inspired me to create mine. Thanks Peggy!

I created by focal piece with My Memories Suite digital software. I used the 'Regency' font for the word 'Veteran' and the 'Bradley Hand ITC' font for the message. The Star is from the 'Devoted USA Mini Kit' from ADBD. With the star, I changed the opacity to 40%, so that you can see the message more clearly.

For the background, I just used a 5x3.75" piece of red cardstock and adhered 1" strips of Whisper White and inch and 3 inches down horizontally.

Thanks for stopping by for a closer look! AND.... for all Veterans' out there --- Thank YOU for YOUR service!
