Mystery Solved!

A Veteran - Whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve --- is someone who, at one point in

his or her life, wrote a blank check -- made payable to the 'United States of America', for an amount of 'up

understand it........Anonymous

Another Mystery you might want to check out:   My friend, Claudia has a new Mystery on her website. It's a once a month clue. I have seen the quilt made up in patriotic colors, and it is gorgeous.  She has added instructions under Yardage to make it patriotic (simply substitute white for green, and gold for yellow).  Here's the link: It's called "Bedazzled Mystery"  http://www.claudiasquiltshoppe.com/freebom.htm
