About Me
- Rugs and Pugs
- Welcome and thank you for stoppping by. I live just two blocks from beautiful Lake Erie. I am a rug hooker, needle puncher, and antique collector. I bought my first antique in 1983 and have not stopped since. I keep telling my boys that the antiques are their inheritance. I am mom to two adult sons and grandma to 15 year old Jake.

What a powerful truth.
God Bless America, and Canada. I have friends and family in both countries, so we are all connected and not strangers.
Hugs,
Julia
God bless the military. While your prolific ode to Soldiers is true, including that last passage, it ticks me off to remember those times I've seen than happen on the news. If they don't love America, the military, our police officers then they should move to Cuba, China, Venezuela or other 3rd world country where they may experience what its like to have no freedom.
Unfortunately, people forget how lucky we are to live in the USA ....Happy 4th Of July !
It doesn't get much truer than this. Thanks for sharing GT.... ~Robin~
So true, thank you for sharing.
❤
How true is this. I so hate this woke generation right now. Such a shame our country is coming to this. Janice
