Off to Sightseeing Today

It's been a busy week due to Bruce's brother visiting us. Today we're off to see the memorials - he wants to visit the Vietnam and WWII memorials. I'm going to have to bring lots of tissues because I think I'll get weepy. That's one of the reasons why I've never visited the Vietnam memorial, because it was such a divisive war, so much that it fostered a defeatist attitude in our society that still persists to some extent to this day. I had only one relative who was in Vietnam; thankfully he came back alive (at the time he was a dentist, so I don't think he was stationed in the frontlines) but I've never known him to talk about it.

I've managed to find the time to work on the carseat blanket. I'm now just above the bucket hole, and then from on it should be smooth sailing. My aim is to get it done halfway by end of the weekend.

Genia has tagged me to answer the Meme questions. So I'm going to be working on this over the weekend.
