Patriotic Color Lapghan for Donation

Just finished another lapghan for donation. I have been making these to donate to a veterans home that will be opening here. The opening has been delayed numerous times and I am hoping that it will be opening soon; the latest date is sometime next month. This lapghan is made mostly from odds and ends except for the blue and some of the white. I did not use a pattern, just winged it. Here it is--

I hope this veterans home opens soon so that I can donate the collection of lapghans I have and the veterans can have the benefit of them this winter.

To all the veterans and their family, thank you for your selfless service.

Honoring Veterans

I received this video in an email some time ago.  It has been sitting in my email because I did not want to delete it.  I decided to share it with all of you.  I hope you take the time to appreciate the veterans who have served our country (or yours) selflessly.  You can turn the blog's music player off by finding it in the right hand column and clicking on the double lines.
