Frank singing "Jingle Bells"
As I was driving back from my Mom's on Sunday afternoon, Amy was sitting in the front seat with me and she requested the Frank Sinatra Christmas Music!
I recorded this video this morning just so you could hear the song. Sorry that it is a bad picture........I just did it for the fun arrangement of Jingle Bells.....Frank Sinatra style!!!

The First Thanksgiving
First Thanksgiving
In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast which is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. This harvest meal has become a symbol of cooperation and interaction between English colonists and Native Americans. Although this feast is considered by many to the very first Thanksgiving celebration, it was actually in keeping with a long tradition of celebrating the harvest and giving thanks for a successful bounty of crops. Native American groups throughout the Americas, including the Pueblo, Cherokee, Creek and many others organized harvest festivals, ceremonial dances, and other celebrations of thanks for centuries before the arrival of Europeans in North America.

Charlie Chaplin - The Circus - 1928
The kids and I started watching this movie tonight.......as I read about it I discovered......For the scenes with the lions, Chaplin made some 200 takes, in many of which he was actually inside the lion's cage. His looks of fear are not all merely acting.

Look.....her tongue is sticking out......

International Quilt Show
Yesterday, Amy and I went to the International Quilt Festival. It was wonderful! The display of quilts was more like an art gallery showing. It is amazing what people can do now with fabric. Some were painted. Some were done by computer design. The quilt with Nelson Mandella won the $10,000 grand prize. It was spectacular! I walked for about 7 hours and was exhausted, but it was so worth it. The best part of my day was having Amy with me. She has gone to all of the quilt shows with me and shares my love of quilting. What a blessing! She made her first quilt when she was 9 as a school project and did a wonderful job!
I heard so many different languages yesterday. I saw people from China, Switzerland, Africa, Moroco and many others. One booth that I found interesting was owned by a man from a country like Pakistan or somewhere like that. The pictures show the coat looking garments up hanging. I had to get his permission to photograph his booth.
I bought some really fun fabric that I am sure that I will never see again. I bought some with the Wizard of Oz on it, some three stooges fabric, and some Route 66 fabric.
The food was so expensive, but the day was so fun:
Baked Potato - $7.00
Starbucks coffee - $4.50
Quality time with my daughter - PRICELESS
