🇺🇸A Day to Remember and Celebrate🌹
Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering those who died while serving our country. It is currently observed every year on the last Monday of May, so we will celebrate it this Monday, May 28th. The holiday was originally held on May 30 up until 1970. Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end. Many people visit cemeteries and volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries. This information is for my blog followers and viewers outside of the United States, who might not know of our traditions and customs:) I enjoy reading their blogs to understand their customs and get to know their land more fully…I feel it helps us bring the world together:) 
This picture is of my mom and me visiting my dad’s grave at the Bourne, National Cemetery, last year. I like to say my dad Continue reading “🇺🇸A Day to Remember and Celebrate🌹”

✂️Hooked on Rugs and Clothes👚
My last post was about my dad’s handmade clocks…to give my mom equal time, this post is about my mom’s hooked or handmade oriental rugs…
This is the first out of many rugs that my mom made, this one she kept for herself, it’s one of the largest she made being 3X5 feet… I’ll try to briefly explain how she made them, at her age of 98, it’s hard for her to remember the process… First, she picked the style rug she wanted, it comes on mesh fabric with the pattern stamped on it, similar to needlepoint… then she chose the color scheme for the wool yarn. She made these rugs on a big Continue reading “✂️Hooked on Rugs and Clothes👚”
