You make me proud. As fellow veteran I can say you represent the best that is America. Thank you for your service and if you have any adjustment problems be sure to talk to someone, including us. You can always PM me at any time.

Starting that quilting group with Afgan women will pay you back in Karma points that you can't even begin to imagine and it will send ripples into your future that will come back in so many ways. Good for you and thank you for your service.

Don't have the nerve to pack my rulers, cutters and cutting board yet. That would finalize everything. I can't let that happen right now. Too emotional. I compromised and sent the starch, batting and supertote home. Swore off buying fabric and notions online until I got home. I had a pity party then broke down and sent myself some fatquarters from fabric.com this morning. (Yay me!) I have some scraps (very small amount) I keep on the edge of my desk to pet and dream about...waiting to go home.
