Graduation Gift for Grandaughter Yesterday

 

 

 

These are the thoughts that I put down on paper and framed for her. 

 



Things that Nanny hopes you’ll remember.

You’ll never know just how strong you are

until being strong is the only choice that

you have to make.

 

 You are what you do!

 

 “Love isn’t a state of perfect caring.

It’s an active noun, like struggle.

To love someone is to strive to accept

that person exactly the way he or she is,

right here and now.” 

 …words of wisdom from Mr. Rogers

 

 And last, but not least,

Nanny loves you to the moon and back.

Stars For Our Troops

This is what I did last night.  It was an interesting evening.  Lots of nice people working for a good cause.  The stars are cut from retired American flags.  They're put in little plastic baggies with a message on the backside that reads:

"I am part of our American flag that has flown over the USA.  I can no longer fly.  The sun and winds caused me to become tattered and torn.  Please carry me as a reminder that  You are not forgotten."

I also learned that lap blankets are being made from the stripes on the flags.  Another project in my future don't you think.

Storyline

"NEBRASKA" is a father and son road trip, from Billings, Montana to Lincoln, Nebraska that gets waylaid at a small town in central Nebraska, where the father grew up and has scores to settle. Told with deadpan humor and a unique visual style, it's ultimately the story of a son trying to get through to a father he doesn't understand.
