OK, so this one begins with a one night road trip with a friend whose mom suffers from the dreadful Alzheimers disease. She 'enjoyed' the display (if you can call crying through it enjoying). Next we realized that trying to steer my car was more like steering a tractor and then had to spend the night in a $200 a night hotel because all other cheaper rooms were taken by a huge car show in Shelburn.VT. All this while Sears got parts for the power steering hose, on a Sunday morning no less. All I can do is thank the Lord for an extra night for my friend who really needed to get away.
If you get the opportunity, this has got to be one of the most amazing displays of quilts done by many affected by Alzheimer's from care givers to grandchildren who just wanted to help raise money for the cause. The title of the display is Alzheimer's, Forgetting Piece by Piece. Here is the URL for the site:
