Here in MN we had a young girl commit suicide because of postings on Facebook and e-mails that she was ugly and fat. I saw her picture and she wasn't but young and innocent. If people had to face her and say the things they did about her on Facebok and e-mail, they never would. It is so easy to say hurtful things over the internet. And not to stop spouting there --- I wonder what has happened to punctuation, spelling, and grammar. It sure isn't used anymore.

This is a neat thread. I think I will make a couple of little books with a whole bunch of these ideas and probably a few more that will come to mind. I have a couple of grandchildren that I think will enjoy them. I have a time capsule in a large Popcorn can as a time capsule for our family for when we pass. It has all sorts of things packed in it.

I remember rainy days when we would get all the quilts and spread them over chairs and tables to make a "house" in the front room. In we would go with dolls and teddy bears, and stay until the storms passed. Maybe that is why I quilt.
I remember having diptheria and laying on the couch propped on pillows and covered with quilts. Mom made eggnog with home grown raw eggs - Oh! the horror! - and I laid there under quarantine for about 2 weeks. More good quilt memories!
