Hey y'all,

How was your weekend?  Hopefully it was and good!  We had a good weekend.  Busy as usual, but busy is good.  Our Church is getting ready to celebrate it's 50th anniversary, so we're busy helping with that. 

Here is something Dixie made for our older sister, who is a passionate, die-hard New York Yankees fan!  Dixie painted every single thing!  Notice all of the detail?  Isn't she so creative and talented?  I'm just in awe of how much detail she was able to paint so perfectly.  I want her to make me an SF.  You know, for San Francisco Giants.  Yep.  We're divided when it comes to baseball.  We all like a different team, except my brother,  I'm slowly converting him into a SF Giants fan!  :) 

Have a great day!
SMILE, GOD LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

"A Promise in Pieces"

Emily T. Wierenga

This book goes back in time to WWII as Clara remembers her past.   She share with her grandchildren how  she ran away from her strict Pastor father's home to join the WAC's and care for the wounded soldiers.

After the war is over she returned home to talk to a young wisdom whose husband she nursed as a he lay dying.  The grief stricken wife gives her a quilt as a thank you for taking care of her husband.  The quilt becomes a healing quilt with many promises stitched into it and the young widow becomes her best friend.  

But can she make her own family understand the significance of the quilt?

*******************************************************

This was a very sad & poignant story which would switch back & forth between 1943 & 2000. I believe it made a very good point that grandchildren should listen to their grandparents and even their parents, of their part they had in history.

I RECEIVED THIS COMPLIMENTARY BOOK FROM LITFUSE FOR REVIEW PURPOSES.
