Today was the Girl Scout Birthday Event at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, celebrating the anniversary of the founding of Girl Scouts of America on March 12, 1912.
It was a beautiful afternoon, warm and sunny.
We did some different things this year, in that the little farmhouse where the Nixon family lived was open. I saw this crocheted blanket on a rocking chair in the living room, and thought I'd post it here.
Here is a detail of the part over the back of the chair -- the color is better in this photo. You can see a little bit of the picot edging at the lower left.
I don't have a daughter, but I was a dedicated Scout and have been to visit Juliette Gordon Lowe's home in Savannah as I live nearby...it may be more lavish than Nixon's family home.
