Aww thank you for your kind words. I do agree with you about quilters. We are all different but kind. Your quote reminded me of me asking my son who was 16 then, Son why don't you invite ur friends over? (Of course our house is boring) Now me playing with him. Or are you afraid they get a crush on me? He laughs a bit. So then I asked him, Do u think I am pretty? I had never asked my son that question before but I am kidding with him. He didn't answer me. A few days later he answered me, Mom remember when you asked me if you were pretty? (Of course I had forgotten I had asked him) I said yes. He tells me he thinks I am average.. ok I think to myself. He goes on to tell me, but how I see you always helping others, going out of ur way for others, being kind to strangers. I see what you do comes from your heart so I think that makes you beautiful. Of course by then I am in tears inside me hearing my son telling me that..
I went with Maui Food Bank
