Next landmark--very early morning rising so she can board a plane at 5:30 a.m. to go visit a college in Mt. Vernon, Iowa--just over 1,000 miles from home. Then later this week, barely hours after she returns from Iowa, she'll board another plane, this time for Washington, DC so her high school civics class can take part in the national We The People competition, because they won the state competition.
Of course, I'll be hoping to get some sleep to make up for the early risings! Also hoping to finish some cutting and piecing of prayer quilts that I worked on when our church's prayer quilt ministry met Saturday morning. I'm pretty sure that in just a few months I'm going to be struggling to keep my mind off missing this girl!
Happy quiltmaking.....

Just lovely. Wow...does time fly.
Oh, my, what a lovely girl !
I pray for God's sweet presence as yours and your daughter's lives change so very much, very soon.
Cherish this time.......my daughter just turned 35 and I could just cry, looking at this photo, and picturing my daughter posing with her friends in her senior year prom photos. Where in the world did that time go?
She looks very pretty. I wish her civics class good luck in the We The People competition. That is such a special event. May she also enjoy her visit to Washington D.C.
She looks like a princess in a fairy tale.
How fabulous she looks and is! Best wishes for competition, and I hope she comes home often!
If sweet teen goes to college in Mount Vernon, IA, then she will be less than 200 miles from me. For a native Texan, just a morning away. Let me know, and, I can help in any way needed.
Wow, Mount Vernon is only 50 miles from me. My brother lives only 10 miles from there and works in Mount Vernon.
