"I feel like travelin' on, oh I feel like travelin' on;
my heavenly home is bright and fair and I feel like travlin' on"
William Hunter
My time with the sock has come to an end. Soon I will be driving to the post office and off it will go to another sister. Who will it be? I can't say, so if you haven't had your turn, make sure to check your mail....it could be you!
As Terry has requested, I added our Scarf Sister Scarf in my last picture. I feel the love of each sister that has held this scarf in her hands, my what a trip it's had! I secretly clipped a piece of fringe off of it because I always wanted to have just a little bit to hold on to. Little did I know it would come back to me!
My Sisters, I wish I could express how much each and every one of you mean to me. Who do I turn to in my time of need? My time of joy? Just because I need to hear a caring voice? My Sisters in the Lord. Your families are now mine, and I pray for you and your needs, knowing also that in turn you are holding me and my loved ones close to your heart.
Life is unpredictable my sisters. We are not promised tomorrow. If you think you can make it to a reunion, give it your best to come -- you won't regret it. If you can't, know you are there in the hearts of those attending.
For this picture, I put on my fascinator as well as the scarf and socks. I'll cherish that moment at the reunion at my little cottage when we all made our fascinators, materials lovingly furnished by Julie. We also practiced our royal wave, with Julie's direction. That's what I'm trying to do here, but Hal said I look like I'm taking an oath!
Lots of memories, lots of love. God surely is the creator of our group, His love and handiwork is all over it. I am blessed to be a Sister of the Traveling Scarf!
We may never all be together in one place here on this earth, but I know that one glorious day...we shall meet! I love you all!
John 14:2-3
In my Fathers house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you may also be where I am.

I've really enjoyed reading through this all!! Thanks for sharing life - and obviously, socks!!!!
Perfect !!!
I about spewed my drink when i saw that fasinator on your head! LOL
It has been great walking by your side in our unmatched pair of socks.
It has become symbolic to me, how well we are able to communicate, even love from so different angles and ways of living.
We share the only thing important, our love of Christ.
yes Felisol...amen!
dear miss patty...when betty and i lived in our beloved manitoba we just used to dislike it so much when a family would pack up their things because they had been transferred and they would have to say...good bye...or as you word it, "time to travel on!"....oh yes we said "we will write, we will stay in contact"...yeh, eh" and we never did!
it is just so great that even though you are saying,."it is time to travel on!"...even so we know that we will always stay in contact...we will see you in october and hug your neck just like that sisterhood scarf is doing
and that is a promise...you are here close to us as the keys on our keyboard!
i think in writing this miss patty that you must surely know. "My Sisters, I wish I could express how much each and every one of you mean to me. Who do I turn to in my time of need? My time of joy? Just because I need to hear a caring voice? My Sisters in the Lord. Your families are now mine, and I pray for you and your needs, knowing also that in turn you are holding me and my loved ones close to your heart."... how better could we all say it like your words...these words surround us all and cover us with love inside and out!..
for sure and you are right miss patty...any of our sisters who can't make it to the reunion they will be there in our hearts!...
can't wait until october!....i love you...love terry
when you mentioned julie here and the fascinator, well it brought me back where i wasn't on the facebook
site of the traveling scarf sisters and that julie took it upon herself to put me in!...i will be ever grateful for this!....
Awe .. our visit to the Mitten and Sister Pat has come to an end! Phooey! You really made us feel welcome to your home and life.
This post made me cry. The end.
oh...wait...one more thing...it has just occurred to me that our Lord is for sure preparing a place in heaven for all of us Scarf Sisters to have reunions!!
