Our lives are stitches hand sewn together to make a piece of art - sometimes unrecognizable by others sometimes celebrated. You are an accomplished artist and stand on your own.

Another huge leap to seeing a woman run for President. Wow, we have come a long way! I drove my home economics teacher crazy as I COULD not sew!

Gotta wonder what is so frightening about us. We've had just over fifty years to begin even scratching the surface of that mystery. Not much against all those centuries. But, maybe just enough that we won't go gently into whatever 'good night' they now have planned. <br /><br />ElizabethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057172956502874716.post-80537176968363751122017-01-15T15:39:37.118-07:002017-01-15T15:39:37.118-07:00Wow.
