So we've had some excitement in our neighborhood tonight and as usual, I missed it! So I was up at WalMart with the kids (dang kids!) getting stuff they needed and my DH calls and says we won't be able to get in the neighborhood b/c there has been a fire - an old barn from the 1800's went up in flames. This barn is part of a historic homesite from the Civil War time that I worked with neighbors to preserve vs. being torn down and made into townhouses.

Anyway, it appears some boys my DS's age (and friends of his) might have been back there playing and lighting cans of Axe on fire. Thank God my son was with me and no one was hurt! Also, had this happened 24 hrs ago when we had high winds, the outcome to the surrounding area would have been horrible. As it is, the investigators are still out there and hopefully will be able to get the boys (2 of which are BIG troublemakers!). One of the boys (troublemaker #1) was actually telling my DD today at the bus stop about what they had been doing. I just think it's very sad that a piece of history went up in flame today. There is an old family plot back there with a Civil War soldier buried in it so hopefully, that was not ruined.

So that's my excitement for the night.

Here are my quilting projects I have just finished

This is a quilt that was a BEAR to make because you had to line up all the seams. Not an easy thing to do even if you sew perfectly (which I don't!)
