Today is a somber anniversary for our country, but I'm glad to see that it has become a national day of volunteering and good deeds.  

 This afternoon (after our monthly Foothills meeting this morning) we will be gathering at Laura's house for a cutting party, where we'll be working up kits for the charity quilts we make and donate to Arrowhead Hospital NICU.

Today also would have been my parents' 64th wedding anniversary (miss you, Dad!)  On that fateful day in 2001 they were on a cruise, having just sailed out of NY Harbor past that memorable skyline two days earlier.

May everyone have a good day today!
