Saturday and still going

I would like to fill in a few things from yesterday, the eyelids just wouldn’t stay up last night and the brain wasn’t working so well either!

 

Everywhere we go there are opportunities to talk about QOV.  While wondering around at the Amana Colonies we ran into a gal from South Dakota that was involved in QOV at home!!   The coach has had tons of pictures taken of it all by it self!  The gals setting by the windows when we are going down the road are having great fun watching peoples reactions as they read the side.  We have gotten thumbs up and seen people clap their hands after seeing the writing on the side.   

We were asked to stand at the play, we talked to people at the intermission.  If you didn’t know, you didn’t send out a shy bunch especially when we get to talk about what we are doing!  It will be great fun to see what opportunities present themselves today!!!

 

I want to take a minute to THANK the people of Otter Tail County.  We have had wonderful support from you. I think the Perham group has been going for 5 years, the Fergus group almost 3 years and St James for 2 years, the quilts that took to Ft Knox were not the first or only quilts that we have made.  You have supported us and helped to fund our project for quite some time.  This mission that we have taken on was started long before the trip came about and it will continue until there is no need for them. 

 

Our mission is to cover each and every Soldier that has been physically and emotionally wounded in the war on terror!  This is the Quilts of Valor mission and this is our mission.  We will continue to meet and make quilts.  In fact within two weeks all of the groups will have met and the quilts will be being produced again. As they are finished they will be bagged and mailed out to hospitals and forts to be distributed.   Thank you for enabling us to do what our hearts call us too.

 

The day starts new – what will happen today?    We look forward to seeing. 

Have a good day wherever you are!
