Remember Those Who Have Fallen

"Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service." Here is a site that you can go to read poems, lyrics to song, speeches and poems. US Memorial Day I lost an Uncle to the Vietnam war. My grandmother lost her second son that day. We still think of him and love him very much!

I loved it so much I wanted to share it with you all: Please Webster's defines our manners as our "morals shown in conduct." Good people stick to good manners, as this story from a turn-of-the-century reader reminds us. There was once a little word named "Please," that lived in a small boy's mouth. Pleases live in everybody's mouth, though people often forget they are there. Now, all Pleases, to be kept strong and happy, should be taken out of the mouth very often, so they can get air. They are like little fish in a bowl, you know, that come popping up to the top of the water to breathe. The Please I am going to tell you about lived in the mouth of a boy named Dick; but only once in a long while did it have a chance to get out.

If you want to try to make one also - I have written all the steps down. :) Not sure if this is a beginner pattern though. It might be. TRY IT! Okay. So here is the BRIMSTONE BUTTERFLY! Stitches explained:  TR = TRIPLE CROCHET (wrap yarn over hook 3 times) TRTR= TRIPLE TREBLE (wrap yarn over hook 4 times) Picot = ch 3. slst (slip stitch) in 2nd ch. from hook.  You are going to need three different colors. One for the wings, body and then the color for the little circles on the wings.
