20-21 March 26

The third Saturday in March is National Quilting Day! My patchwork quilt tie was a gift from a resident at the Telford Terrace nursing home in 2012, where I was a weekly visitor from 2000-2020. My Sunday evening visits began when my father moved into assisted living in Allentown, PA, much too far away for frequent contact. The director at Telford Terrace suggested that I could visit with those residents instead, and so I read Bible stories and shared hymns with them for twenty years, until the COVID-19 pandemic closed those meetings down.
