The panel discussion went very well at the Decatur Library on Saturday. We had a nice size group and really good energy. I told my father's story which is always touching for me and many others.

I'm starting to memorize parts of the stories which makes the telling easier for me and more enjoyable I am told to the audience. So far this story is my favorite but I think my mom's story is going to top it. Don't know yet because I am still working on that one.

This is my family quilt with young pictures of my parents in the center with my brothers, sisters and me on the sides. I originally thought I was going to make one for all of us, then my computer crashed and now I have to edit all those pictures again.
