We just returned from a trip to Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks and encountered 110 degree temperatures for 4 days on the way home. Loved trip but am glad to be back to Colorado mountains. Spent yesterday on Pikes Peak with a zillion people. DH will spend the day operating trains and I get to spend the day sewing and being thankful for our country. I am thankful for our heritage and pray that that hard sacrifice on the part of so many will not be squandered in the future. I have been putting off a challenge project for my quilt guild-today I feel inspired to get with it! Be thoughtful and thankful on this 4th.
