The days are long but the years are short.....

 That's what they say.....and it's true.  We were able to make some good memories in the last couple of weeks.  Sadly, my DIL's aunt was not doing well, and my DIL wanted to see her before she passed so they made a quick trip home. I mean quick, here on Sunday evening, left on Monday.  Unfortunately she passed on Monday night so they made another trip on Thursday. We decided to keep the kids and then return them to their new home on Wednesday.  So we drove 20 hours in two days to take them home, and get us back to east Tennessee.  BUT, we made some great memories while they were here.  Memories we will cherish, and I hope they will also.

Swimming with their best friends and neighbors who they really miss since their move.

Fun at a really fun splash pad.

Always fun with bubbles and the pup.

After eating at their favorite place, Pizza Inn, we visited the Friendship Bell and the park in Oak Ridge.

On our way to NOLA to take them home, we made a stop in Laurel, MS, to see Ben and Erin Napier's "Hometown," the name of their HGTV show.

So, not a lot of quilting is being done.  It looks like I have two more memory quilts to work on soon, but first want to finish this one. Now, back at home, maybe I can get it done.

You can see I still have some scraps of my favorite bird fabric.  Just had to include a few of those in this one.  :)
